1. start anaconda with all drives formatted
2. select custom partitioning
3. create new partition:
 a) set FS Type: ext3
 b) set mount point: /boot
 c) anaconda changes FS Type to ext4
4. copy storage.log...

Tested with anaconda-13.21.125 and fstype is not changed when /boot mount point is selected.
