two things
one is that we dont use boxgrinder to make the official images and the
kickstarts we use for official images dont work with boxgrinder.  the
second is that appliance-creator requires grub1 there is a version in
fedoras koji that works around it but its not pretty. a correct fix is
underway and being tested. the error you hit would have been due to no
grub
