First attempt at a GPT/UEFI install. Instructions in the Handbook say that
for a UEFI system, prepare the disk as;
Partition     Filesystem     Size     Description
/dev/sda1     (bootloader)     2M     BIOS boot partition
/dev/sda2     ext2 (or vfat)     128M     Boot partition
<snip>

to end up with;
(parted)print

Model: Virtio Block Device (virtblk)
Disk /dev/sda: 20480MiB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt

Number   Start      End      Size     File system  Name   Flags
 1       1.00MiB    3.00MiB  2.00MiB               grub   bios_grub
 2       3.00MiB    131MiB   128MiB                boot   boot
 <snip>

And later in the bootloader instructions is says;
# grub2-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot
then;
Note: Modify the efi-directory setting to the root of the vfat EFI System
Partition. This necessary if the /boot partition was not formatting [sic]
as vfat.

Does it look like they intend that /dev/sda1 is the EFI system partition?
If so, should /dev/sda1 be mounted at /boot/efi, and the --efi-directory
set to /boot/efi...
