You may be facing a bug in grub[1]. Before you reboot, please try
installing 'shim-signed', 'shim-helpers-arm64-signed',
'shim-signed-common' and 'shim-unsigned' packages. If that does not
work, please uninstall the grub* packages and re-install them. This
worked for me.

The SD contains the UEFI firmware in the format understood by Raspberry
Pi. The USB drive contains EFI partition and the root partition. You can
to combine them manually by copying the EFI and root partitions to SD
card. It is likely to work without any further changes.

On official images, we can't distribute the UEFI firmware due to be
binaries it it and we are trying not to create a separate image for each
of the single board computers.

If your FreedomBox is able to access network in general but not able to
do install apps, then it could be a problem with IPv6 configuration in
your network. Try setting IPv6 configuration to "Ignored" using
FreedomBox interface, nmtui tool or nmcli too.
