Yep. After doing all that, it booted fine, and I was able to see what was wrong.
During install, I picked 'no language support' (or something close to that wording) since I wanted only the 'C' POSIX locale. It turns out picking this does do what I wanted, but in a broken way. In /etc/init.d instead of putting LANG=C, it puts LANG=C/POSIX, and that just causes all sorts of error messages during bootup. After I fixed that, I rebooted in text mode, and the message were gone, then I rebooted in the default graphical mode, and it all came up fine.
