Thank you Thomas, for your detailed explanation and test procedure!

I tried your procedure (dd the iso to a stick, then use disk to modify the stick’s GPT).  I actually tried it twice: Once using the original GPT, second using the original MBR to reconstruct the GPT.
Unfortunately, it didn’t work.

The first problem was that the stick still wasn’t recognized as bootable.
I was able to work around that by doing some command-line stuff in the EFI firmware — telling it to boot the file “fs0:\efi\boot\bootx64.efi”
That got me into the installer, but after it did the language/locale picking, when the installer went looking for the CD, it complained that 
    Incorrect CD-ROM detected
    The CD-ROM drive contains a CD which cannot be used for installation…

Do you think it would work if I used disk to create a GPT that had partition 1 of they “EF00” start and end where the original partition 2 started and ended?

Thanks for your help so far!
Rick
