Just archived my /boot and re-installed w/formatting the new /, /boot, swap and
Boostrap paritions. This time it seemed to work.

I'm not sure if this is the real solution, because I've been experimenting with
minimal installs, and have had 3 out of 15-20 succeed, so there might be
something else going on.

Luckily for me, this time I had done full package selection, as I was planing
on trying to merge a successful minimal partition I'd saved w/a failed full
install. But the full install worked. I've already wasted 3 days
troubleshooting, so I'm gonna stick with this working partition for now. Maybe
I'll try more debugging later to confirm if the reformatting all partions
always works.
