Well, I eventually got this going.
I believe I could do it easier, but what I did was:
1) text based EXPERT install, allow autoprobe to fail, then add in my
card manually (no extra options)
2) text based install blows up flipping CDs on a Virtual Machine,
leaving mostly working text only Linux system.
3) Re-fire up the GUI install and do an upgrade, skip over networking.
4) Throw in VM-ware tools to get their X server
5) Off to the races!

I think an Expert GUI install might have been OK, but don't feel like
trying it now.

One suggestion for the install, when I got this autoprobe error on
Customized install, It would not let me jump in and just add in the
card.  It would be nice for the spots of the install that are "more
prone to not working" to be able to "jump in" to expert mode.  I mean I
can add in a video card, but a full expert install is not really needed.
