Title:
  server install trying to mount ext4 partition as vfat on /boot/efi

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  System: Mac mini

  I repartitioned the single drive to a single partition. I then put an
  ext4 filesystem on that partition. Using the trusty-server-amd64 iso
  dd'd onto a flash drive as my install medium.

  I select the "use entire drive" options. Confirm everything and tell
  it to write the partition table to the drive. It appears to do that
  and then I get a dialog that the installer is unable to mount a vfat
  partition to /boot/efi.  If I mkfs.fat the first partition and go
  through that again it mounts correctly and works.
