I didn't have the problem of it installing to the MBR (when telling it to install to the boot sector of the partition). I had the problem that it simply didn't install grub at all when telling it to install to the boot sector of the partition. after using grub from the mbr (another distro manages my mbr thats why fedora was asked to install grub to its own partition) and booting fedora a simple grub-install (hdx,x) worked like a charm. Also the placement of the advanced options for grub is very nonintuitive. why not just put it under the button where you choose whether grub should be installed or not? Currently you have to say 'install grub to mbr' and then check advanced options to make the change on the next screen. |
