[Bug 914581] Re: Can't install bootloader on fakeraid raid-5

[Phillip Susi]

The boot loader gets installed on a whole drive, not a partition.  On
the installer partitioning screen, you need to choose to install the
boot loader to /dev/mapper/isw_gbbhbfiji_Volume0.  Please let me know if
this works.


** Summary changed:

- Won't install bootloader. I tried manually partitioning and applying in gparted first as it seemed the partition editor in the install wasn't doing anything. During hte install I chose the partitions I had created and started, install completes but can't install bootloader on any partition. Please email me if there is something I'm doing wrong. Thanks. tom at tom.am
