Here is my script to generate a bootable Debian disk.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -e

# Download the debs to be used to install debian.
if [ ! -e "debs.tar.gz" ]; then
 debootstrap --verbose 
 --make-tarball=debs.tar.gz 
 --include=linux-image-amd64,grub-efi 
 stable rootfs https://deb.debian.org/debian
fi

# Make a drive with an EFI boot partition
# and an LVM partition.
rm -rf boot.img
truncate -s 40G boot.img
parted -s boot.img 
 mklabel gpt 
 mkpart primary 1MiB 2GiB 
 mkpart primary 2GiB 3GiB 
 mkpart primary 3GiB 4GiB 
 mkpart primary 4GiB 15GiB 
 mkpart primary 15GiB 100% 
 set 1 esp on

# Partition layout:
# 1. The EFI boot loader
# 2. The base recovery OS
# 3. Darch configuration (/etc/darch)
# 4. Darch stage/images
# 5. Home directory

# Mount the newly created drive.
loop_device=`losetup --partscan --show --find boot.img`

# Format the partitions
mkfs.fat -F32 $loop_devicep1
mkfs.ext4 $loop_devicep2
mkfs.ext4 $loop_devicep3
mkfs.ext4 $loop_devicep4
mkfs.ext4 $loop_devicep5

# Mount the new partitions
rm -rf rootfs && mkdir rootfs
mount $loop_devicep2 rootfs
mkdir rootfs/boot
mount $loop_devicep1 rootfs/boot

# Generate the rootfs
debootstrap --verbose 
 --unpack-tarball=$(pwd)/debs.tar.gz 
 --include=linux-image-amd64,grub-efi 
 stable rootfs https://deb.debian.org/debian

# Install GRUB
arch-chroot rootfs grub-install $loop_device --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot
arch-chroot rootfs grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

genfstab -U -p rootfs > rootfs/etc/fstab

# Clean up
umount rootfs/boot
umount rootfs
losetup -d $loop_device

VBoxManage convertdd boot.img boot.vdi --format VDI

After booting the generate boot.vdi, there is no EUFI image found.

Here is the boot report for the generated image.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
