Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
It doesn't really look like we can move the bootloader steps before the partition writing steps. The bootloader config sets are full of code like this: bootDev = anaconda.id.fsset.getEntryByMountPoint("/") if not bootDev: bootDev = anaconda.id.fsset.getEntryByMountPoint("/boot") part = partedUtils.get_partition_by_name(anaconda.id.diskset.disks, bootDev.device.getDevice()) Which is going to want partitions written to the disk so we'll be able to detect them and know which choices to offer. Moving these steps earlier would be nice because we'd be able to get rid of the inability to go back, but I don't think it's possible with the current code structure.
