Sorry for all the errors you encountered, but many thanks for the
feedback! Let's try to see what went wrong.
Did you use 1.0.1 image or a more recent one?

Ok, so I suspect that this one is caused by the size of your hard
drive (2TiB). It's an unsolved issue[1] that fell into the cracks.

Did you mount your EFI partition to "/mnt/boot/efi" before starting the
install?

Well, the graphical installer does not support very well to be
restarted, especially in 1.0.1 release.

That's heroic! If you have another machine around you may use SSH to get
the error file (located in /tmp/last-installer-error). Otherwise you can
take some pictures of your screen and send them as attachment.
Now, if you could try again with:
* The 1.1.0-rc2 release available here[2].
* This custom release[3]: 1.1.0-rc2 + the patch suggested by Danny for
partitions > 1TiB.
that would be really appreciated :)
Thanks,
Mathieu
