Just did a clean install of 11.3. After first try, system couldn’t boot for hard drive. When installing a second time, I noticed that booting from a boot partition and the MBR are disabled by default. I enabled both and proceeded with the install. System now boots fine. Since the automatic partitioning created a boot partition, I’m assuming that that is where the system is booting from and I didn’t need to enable booting from MBR, but am not 100% sure. So make sure to at least enable booting from a boot partition, or the system won’t work.
Do you have a high-number boot partition, like sdax where x is a big number?

I don’t think this is the proper forum for this question, this is for howto submissions.
You should ask in the install-boot-login one.

There’s no question ashed by OP. Just advice given. But perhaps this should be moved to the boot forum, so I’ll do that.
