You must have missed the followup post, in which I wrote:

With the help of those here, the fatal problem was localized to gfx, which
I disabled during a subsequent install, since I'm fine with running command
line on this machine.

So the microcode business appears to only be a warning (that's still being
reported) and not constitute a "problem".  It happily skips right past it and
comes up normally.
