Comment 3 Mike McLean 2003-01-21 22:29:27 UTC 
Just tested with Phoebe public beta 2.  While the installer does appear to have
installed the bootloader into the /boot partition, the anaconda-ks.cfg file has
the line:

bootloader --location=boot --append hdc=ide-scsi

Jeremy -  is 'boot' the correct location now, and not 'partition'?
