Thanks, Adam,
as these are all 'the same', I'll just continue in this particular thread. I've updated the testcases [1][2][3], to cover the installation procedure. The testcase(s) now look like this:
---------------------------
<snipped />
How to test
Insert the USB stick containing Live.iso, and boot the system under test
At the boot prompt, interrupt the automatic boot sequence by pressing any key. Then select the menu option Boot.
From live image desktop, or from the Application menu, click the icon Install to hard drive
Complete the installation as desired
Reboot the system and remove the Live boot media
Expected Results
A graphical boot menu is displayed and the graphics look reasonably good. While hi-res images aren't supported in the boot menu, the graphics should not look extremely pixelated.
Upon selecting Boot, the Live image boots successfully.
The installer starts without error
The installer completes without error
The system reboots successfully
