I only had to do this on the 12.1 Milestone 3 (installed it today on a
machine for testing).  I did an install using the 11.4 ISO today
(written to USB using these steps) and I didn't have to go through the
broken install procedure (where it drops to text mode and you have to
tell it to do a hard drive install).  So... works as expected with
11.4, but not quite as expected with 12.1.... not sure why.
