It gives a rather clear warning about what is required. If you're booting
under old BIOS conditions then it's just "install to /dev/sda" and you're
done. But if you're using GPT, then it's a bit more involved. You have to
make sure your boot partition is aligned to a 4KB block and it must
included another FAT32 formatted partition for the boot OS mounted to
/boot/efi.
