It was netinst. In the past I've found the installer for netinst gave me
more control over the installation and I could then configure the system
as desired. That no longer seems to be the case.
I often use the Everything netinst because it lets me configure things
how I want. I haven't had any problems with dual-boot or multiple
drives. However, you are doing something that is probably not going to
work with the installer. There is no support for having multiple Fedora
instances on the same UEFI system. (Besides you seem to also have some
other issue regarding UEFI or legacy boot.)
