Manually installing the boot loader via grub2-install also failed and led me to discover that Anaconda had not set the bios_grub flag on the bios_boot partition. After setting that with parted, grub2-install completed successfully and the system was able to boot.

I couldn't find the pxe boot file to just do it with a network boot... that would be nice... but that is not really pertinent to this issue. This is simply an installation attempt... the second attempt. I used dd to copy the iso image to the usb disk... it booted and ran through the installation fine both times. Only issue is installing the boot loader. I have alt-tab'd to another terminal and attempted manual installation of grub2... no joy whatsoever... sigh...
