It seems a little odd that the installer would put the kernel somewhere other than the target installation disk.

I agree but the board no longer boots.

Having UEFI on-board I can understand, but shouldn't the boot sequence in this case be:

1. u-boot (on-board)
2. UEFI (wherever u-boot can fetch it from)
3. grub (off the UEFI FAT partition on the target disk)
4. Kernel (/boot partition)

Perhaps it should be.

Is there a good reason for deviating from this?

To be honest, I don't know. To quote the manual, "The system wills entry OpenLinux automatically if no any boot devices exist. (ex. SD card/USB memory stick/SATA hard disk)" and that was the case prior to my attempt to install centos.

I'm not bothered about not being able to boot into OpenLinux. I'll try a few more things.
