The install completes on the SS5-70, but will not successfully boot after install.  It doesn't appear to load the esp
 module from the initfs, and cannot locate the root filesystem.

So, the install process is fine on the SS20, but still does not install properly on an SS5 system.

There were no errors that I saw during the installation process.  Onboard ethernet and SCSI were detected automatically during the install.
