So evidently the problem was an existing mysql.cnf with configuration data that had been removed from this version of mysql. NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER I think along with two other ones which I don't remember. Something like some_cache=4m. Once I found them in the mysql error log and removed them one by one during installation attempts, it finally installed and came up.
