I'm opening /dev/sda in hexedit and see 0's for the first 0x3FFFFFF0 bytes. Which is exactly the result of dd 1gb of zeros into /dev/sda before starting the install this previous time. Seems installer didn't write any partition table. I'm going to restart the install now that I've booted into the system with a blank partition table on /dev/sda (I'm thinking maybe the installer was working off partition info read at boot. But I don't think this would be the cause of my initial failure as I have initially had a previous partition table on sda I believe and didn't dd any zeros).
