I did actually run into the exactly same issue. I get the same error, but can get to the EFI menu if I press ESC early enough.
I had previously sd-card in, and system booted fine with it, but the abovementioned happens now without the card. I did use the card for other purposes, so have to see if I can find the image from somewhere.
I think EFI gets misconfigured at some point in the installation…
