Does it matter that my system is pre-EFI?

When you try to boot the new system directly, hit ESC or space during
boot to try to bring up the menu. Then edit the boot line to remove
rhgb and quiet. That should show you the actual output during boot, and
what is causing the problem will usually be the last thing displayed.
That's a good place to start looking for the issue.
Dependency failed for GNOME Display Manager, Network Man & Login Services! L1TF CPU bug present and SMT on, data leak possible. See CVE-2018-3646 and https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/l1tf.html
I'll go see what that's all about. But why would there be missing dependencies if I just chose to install a fully functional live DVD of Fedora 30 to my harddrive...
You could also check your firmware configuration by pressing F2 or Del
during boot to bring up the firmware menu. What is the default boot
set to?
Do you have any way of examining the system? Usually the install media
will have an option to boot in rescue mode, and then you can mount the
new system under /mnt/sysimage to see it. The install media should
have commands like /blkid, etc. to see what is happening, and vi should
be present (actually vim minimal) for editing.
At the very least you want to look
at /etc/fstab, /boot, /boot/efi/EFI/fedora and /boot/loader/entries.
