I have installed the May 22 Rawhide on a disk today, and I am now
realizing that the installer did not helped me enough to create valid
Boot Loader Specification partitions.
So I wanted (still want) to make this disk dual boot (Fedora and NixOS).
Because NixOS does not follows BLS (I think... thought... I should
verify)... well I decided to create two boot partitions, one for the
Fedora BLS partition, and an other for NixOS.
And my idea was to create a big LVM(2) partition for more normal
partition: / and Swap... which I did.
I have chosen ext4 for my Fedora /boot, which is illegal according to
BLS: "$BOOT must be a VFAT (16 or 32) file system.".
The installer, then forced my hand to add a /boot/efi partition, which I
had not tought previously to add.
So I removed my LVM(2) partiton, add the /boot/efi partition, then added
back my LVM(2) partition.
It finally installed...
One of the first problem I have, is /boot have not the correct GUID for BLS:

/dev/mapper/myLVM-fedoraMain / ext4
defaults 1 1
UUID=4a82a496-5316-4aca-9d27-8376197c8a6d /boot ext4 defaults 1 2

umask=0077,shortname=winnt 0 2
/dev/mapper/myLVM-fedoraSwap none swap
defaults 0 0
[paul@localhost /]$
Reading the BLS, it seems the installer did not generated a valid entry
/boot... not the valid type (vfat, EFS)... nor a valid UUID.
Oh well, the other way of saying it is the installer did not force me to
generate a valid /boot partition.
I have:
