Hi! Sorry, looking now at the docs, they are misleading. You need to use the boot option together with package installation, where you can choose the bootloader. With live images, the bootloader is already contained in the image, so you need an image that is specially prepared with sdboot. Otherwise, it's not there, not found, and the installer crashes.
I'm amending the docs, but I wonder if we should check for sdboot being possible on live, or not. That's technically possible, just not foreseen as needed yet, because the sdboot support is mostly preview... https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/5323
