I just installed Debian Stretch from a live USB. I left the installation do all the partition and such automatically. But I reboot to a black screen that says:

Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported...

In which direction should I go now?

EDIT:

I can boot every time if I type this cryptic arcane I blindly copied from a forum:

set root=(hd0,gpt2)

 

linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-4-amd64 root=/dev/sda2 ro

 

initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-amd64

 

boot

How can I do those changes permanent? I'm almost there.

boot

It also works when I type

exit

And then there is a boot manager and I can choose "OS boot Manager (UEFI) - Debian(...)" and it boots.
