From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020722 Description of problem: A kickstart file containing the following line: bootloader --location=partition --append "ide0=ata66 ide1=ata66" --md5pass=<omitted> installs grub in the MBR of the boot disk. Oops. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a complete kickstart file (i.e., one that doesn't require any interaction) containing --location=partition for the boot loader. 2.Install with it. 3.Restart the system and hope the original install, that should have been preserved, still works. Actual Results: The preserved partitions are all there, but the boot record was replaced, and it did NOT install the boot sector in the beginning of the /boot partition. Oops. Expected Results: It should do as it was told. Additional info:
Fixed in CVS
