I couldn't use it at the end of an install, I had been able to switch during
and install, but I am not sure if it was the same image though. It may be
that that particular image had a problem that would be there now.

Unfortunately I could wait around work for the install to finish today, but
it should be at the reboot prompt when I get in on Monday and I can try it
again.

That's the conclusion I came to after checking koji. Koji is pretty neat.
I won't be able to try again until Monday.
