Bug 861192?
That was just your specific problem with a certain case of actually
installing the bootloader to a partition, doing it manually. It's not
the bug for the general case of adding the ability to do so back into
anaconda.
I'm a little mystified by people who want to force a bootloader
into a
file system that doesn't offer a sufficient bootloader region for a
bootloader to fit (e.g. ext[234] and XFS). I think there should be a
none option, rather than a redirect and force option.
It's not that they want to force a bootloader into a filesystem. They
want to multiboot by chainloading, and that's the way you do that.
