Description of Problem: Anaconda clobbered my partition table/first filesystem when asked to create a boot disk. My machine is SCSI-only and I used a USB floppy drive for the install. System disk is sda. The floppy ended up as sdb. Install progressed just fine. After boot, however, something which resembled a boot floppy image took up the first part of my SCSI disk. How Reproducible: Despite my amazing od -t a filesystem superblock spotting powers, I've not had a strong desire to reproduce. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Perform an install to a SCSI-disk using a USB-floppy 2. When prompted to create a boot disk, do so Actual Results: First part of the harddisk gets clobbered Expected Results: A boot image on the floppy drive and not the harddisk.
We now always reprobe for what the floppy device is now and have fun unloading and reloading usb-storage in various places
