Next step, read up about which version of Ubuntu I should be installing, and try again!
Thanks for your help, @"Snoopy8" .
Thanks, @"agent_kith". I didn't make a note of the error messages, unfortunately. They referred to Ubuntu (or some part of Ubuntu) not being present. Hence I went back to the installation instructions, which say I should be using Ubuntu Server LTS.
I flashed Ubuntu Server LTS from the Raspberry Pi installer. The RPi booted successfully, and I upgraded and updated Ubuntu using SSH. I then verified and installed SnakeoilOS without receiving error messages. But the installation failed to reboot successfully.
So should I go back to using Raspian? I was planning a second Ubuntu-based install as I didn't get the error messages.
I'm happier with Raspian, in a way, because it's a simpler version of Linux. It's just those Ubuntu-related error messages.
Edit: You quite clearly say that I should be using Raspian (Raspberry Pi OS). It'll probably be next weekend before I have any time to do a new install. I'll report back as soon as I do have the time.
