Description of problem:
Installation fails when installing the bootloader because no PReP partition was created during a manual partitioning.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-18.6.5-1.fc18.ppc64

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go into Installation Destination screen
2. Click Let me review & customize the partitioning of the disks anyway.
3. Delete the previous installation manually.
4. Create a 500mb /boot partition
5. Create a 2gb swap partition
6. Create a 28gb / partition
7. Click finish partitioning
  
Actual results:
System installs until it gets to the installing bootloader phase and then fails.


Expected results:
Show an error to the user during the partitioning phase.
