One thing I've noticed from the docs is that to GPT disks... and this
NEEDS to be in the instructions... it USED to say to put the EFI
partition under /boot/efi

It now insitist that won't work anymore (and maybe that is why it will
not reboot?)  and the boot partition needs to be either moved to /boot
or to /efi

This is a vital change.
