I have Debian 12 installed on my main computer.

Fortunately, I have Debian 12 installed on two SSD's on the platform. I
shut down the computer, restarted it with F2 to open the BIOS and
selected the other SSD with Debian. When GRUB came up I was presented
the normal selection screen, The booting process continued normally with
the SSD that gave me the "GRUB ERROR>" initially.
Then I shut down the system and restarted it. Normal start up!!!!!!!!!!
Does anyone have any ideal as to what might be going on (yes, I know an
impossible question)?
When one of my computer fails to boot:
1. Push and hold power button until machine reaches cold power off state.
2. Wait at least 10 seconds.
3. Try booting again.
The above usually works.
Why? I can only conclude that there is a race condition somewhere
(hardware, firmware, OS boot loader, etc.).
