I can see from your partman log file.  No, the ESP must be a partition
and must be flagged as an ESP and use fat32.  The installer will take
care of setting one up for you if you choose the auto partition option.

how could you tell I originally had an EFI partition?  I don't remember
deleteing it.  I did reformat the drives I am trying to install on.

there is a mmcblk device (32G), an M.2 SSD (250G) and an 80G spinner
(HDD).  I don't recall any of these having an EFI partition but I do
remember erasing the drives so that probably caused the problem.

I don't do a lot of installations so forget the pre-reqs.

can i simply create an EFI dir at the top level or must it be a partition?
Is there something simple I can look at that pulls all the basics of EFI
installs together?

and again thanks for your attention.

2017-05-22 Thread Phillip Susi 
You are trying to install in EFI mode, and while you initially had an
EFI system partition, it appears that you deleted it.  You need to have
one to install in EFI mode.
