I have tested the patch and the Installer mostly worked. One thing I 
noticed is that the partition scheme I was given automatically looks 
like this:

1 537MB fat32 boot,esp /boot/efi EFI System Partition
2 3146Kb ext4 bios_grub
3 2001MB linux-swap
4 37.5GB ext4 /

It is creating the bios_grub partition, but the EFI is still being made 
also. Is that necessary?

After completing the install, I was able to make it to the next bug!:
