Comments/Problems:
Video flickered then disappeared on a normal "install," but worked with
"install-safe." I tried creating the bootstrap partition both within the
partitioner and in mac-fdisk, and the partitioner moved to the next step
(install boot loader) which then complained that no partition of type
"Bootstrap..." existed (although it did). Also, when I chose to Continue
without boot loader from the menu, it informed me about the "missing"
bootstrap partition and referred to the Continue without boot loader as the
next step (w/o actually doing anything).
