Description Keith Dixon 2006-11-22 15:06:08 UTC

Description of problem:
Anaconda has no mechanism for selecting the disc in whose MBR the stage1 loader
will be written.  It can only write it to the first disc.  Many BIOSes allow one
to choose the disc to boot from, but one can not take advantage of this.

When you choose the device, it's generally done by faking out what the boot
