Letting it fall back on its own is OK - the problem was that someone
set up a server for development work, then wanted a bunch of identical
copies. And the default install had set up the UEFI boot stuff.
Another box I had installed myself with explicitly configured
partitions didn't. Seems kind of strange, but who understands
anaconda?
