[Bug 1666130] Re: unable to install to a partition, using efi - unexpected installer exit

[Shaun Prince]

:~$ mount | grep /target
/dev/sda6 on /target type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered)
/dev/sda1 on /target/boot/efi type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /target/proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
sysfs on /target/sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
udev on /target/dev type devtmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,size=8138340k,nr_inodes=2034585,mode=755)
tmpfs on /target/run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,size=1630788k,mode=755)

The intent was to install on /dev/sda6, as use my own EFI boot loader to
launch it.

Unfortunately, the installer unexpectedly exits before returning a
success status.
