 That is very unlikely - the only part where the firmware plays a roll is
 the boot method (bios or uefi), and I used the same (uefi) as you, as
 you can see in the 128MB MSDOS EFI partition being added.

 If my screens looked very close (minor differences in total disk size
 and size of the swap partition do not matter) to what you saw, I'm not
 sure right now what the difference would be.
 
 You did boot from the USB install medium or CD?
 
 If you could try again (with a very recent HEAD image and not before the
 current build completes in ~4h from now, please) and
 when it fails, run:
 
 	dkctl sd0 listwedges
 	gpt show -a sd0
 
 Thanks!
