Sony Vaio laptop PCG-SR1K, 128M RAM, 9Gb disk, text mode install. Autopartitioning had produced the results seen in bug 47128, with /boot on hda3. Bootloader configuration suggested two places I might want to install the bootloader (which it doesn't mention by name): /dev/hda Master Boot Record (MBR) <- this is selected /dev/hda1 First sector of boot partition I don't really understand hard drives, partitioning, and sectors, but surely if autopartitioning produced /boot as /dev/hda3 then the boot loader might go there, not /dev/hda1 (which is /)
This should be fixed in CVS. Reopen this bug if you see again in beta2 or later
