The issue stems from the assumption made by the installer that only EFI
systems need to label disks as GPT. I've created a non-UEFI VM with an 8
GB thin-disk and was able to reproduce the issue, but the following diff
was enough to make the installation to succeed:
---

It is a bit rough and doesn't apply to current HEAD (I applied it to the
live image code) but it shows the issue and how it can be
patched/"workarounded".
Regards, and happy new year.
