I don't think that it's *actually* searching for an Apple_Bootstrap
partition, although I have no definite proof that it isn't. The error
message says it couldn't find an Apple_Bootstrap partition, true, and
that's a bug, but actually it says that if it can't find a bootable
partition for any subarchitecture.
In order to tackle this, I need to get /var/log/syslog and
/var/log/partman from a failed installation. The "Save debug logs" entry
from the installer main menu should help with extracting these.
