And, if I install as UEFI, for some reason it doesn't accept the existing ext4 partitions on the gpt formatted drive. That's a separate bug report, also needs installer logs attached.
I think this might have been my error. After reading about UEFI, I see that it needs a separate /boot/efi partition. I have room on the disk at the start before the first /boot partition, but I didn't create that partition during custom configuration. That could have been why it refused to install to the partitions I created as UEFI.
Again, I'm struck by how clumsy this all seems. I must be missing something. People wouldn't have invested all the effort they did in these new methods if they didn't solve some problem.
