Steps to reproduce:
 1) Boot rawhide/i386 on KVM guest
 2) Add remote iSCSI drive (IP:192.168.33.219, IQN:iqn.rhel5.i386)
 3) Select the local KVM disk ('vda') as the boot drive
 4) Select "Use entire disk" and [X] Review partition selections
 5) Click Next 
 6) (optional) ... rearrange partitions to ensure that 'vda' gets the /boot partition
 7) Click Next

Can you retest this at your convenience? I expect that it was fixed shortly after beta.
