I have a laptop with this problem so what I did was take the drive out of
the laptop and inserted it into my desktop machine, created a small 10M
partition and configured the install apps to boot from that partition
(naturally it had to be network install). I put the disk back in the laptop
and booted it up, besides the heafty wait for some packages to download
the install went quickly and fine. Once everything was working I just
transplanted /boot into this 10M partition and nothing has gone wrong yet.
