This is a good start, and I used this PR to create an install -- which of course doesn't boot, but gives me a testing framework. The changes you should make are moving those checks from WritePartition table to the Findxxxx routines. The pre-existing check was mainly a sanity check for writing the partitions. The checking should be done in the Findxxx routines to screen out. We should be flagging that /boot must be a physical disk there so the message is conveyed back to the user.
