Bug Description

System: Mac mini

I repartitioned the single drive to a single partition. I then put an ext4 filesystem on that partition. Using the trusty-server-amd64 iso dd'd onto a flash drive as my install medium.

I select the "use entire drive" options. Confirm everything and tell it to write the partition table to the drive. It appears to do that and then I get a dialog that the installer is unable to mount a vfat partition to /boot/efi. If I mkfs.fat the first partition and go through that again it mounts correctly and works.
