Public bug reported: Refer 1873128 (this is linked; if not duplicate I'll likely mark as shortly)
I selected /dev/sda as where to install to, PLUS install boot loader to. Floppy was ejected, but calamares still tried to write MBR to FDD I believe causing failure. (New report filed for me to examine). I'll mark it incomplete.
