These are a few tips to help get Debian 11 running on TrueNAS 12. I tried to install Debian 12, however both Graphical and Text installers had issues running.  

 h2. Set the VNC resolution 

 * After adding the VM, expand the VM options and click on *Devices* .  
 * Next open the options for the VNC device 
 * Set the *Resolution* to 800x600 
 * Click *Save* 

 h2. Fix EFI 


 * Power off the VM and remove the CDROM device from the VM 
 * Power on the VM, the EFI boot will fail 
 Wait until the EFI shell appears, the press *Esc* 
 * Exit the EFI shell 
 <pre> 
 exit 
 </pre> 

 * Navigate to the *Boot Maintenance Manager* 
 * Select *Boot Boot from file* file -> *<NO <NO VOLUME LABEL ... GPT ...>* ...> -> *EFI*    EFI -> *debian*    debian -> *grubx64.efi* grubx64.efi 
 * Login as root and type the following commands to fix the EFI boot issue 
 <pre> 
 mkdir -p /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/ 
 cp /boot/efi/EFI/debian/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi 
 reboot 
 </pre>
