Not sure if this helpful (I have not tested that myself) - wondering if you could specify
bootloader --location=partition
to make it work ?

First of all, my apologies if this questions has already been answered, but I couldn’t find a clear answer in the documentation or searching the list archives.
My goal is to install CentOS 6 and 7 on an entire disk, with no partitioning scheme (e.g. in /dev/xvda).
My first attempt was to use “part …. _onpart_=xvda”, like this:
zerombr
clearpart --drives=xvda --all --initlabel
part / --fstype ext3 --fsoptions=noatime --_onpart_=xvda
The installer actually formats /dev/xvda correctly:
│ Creating ext3 filesystem on /dev/xvda │
However, it fails right after that because it tries to read the first item from an empty list:
Entering debugger...
> /usr/lib/anaconda/platform.py(640)bootloaderChoices()
-> ret["mbr"] = (bl.drivelist[0], N_("Master Boot Record (MBR)"))
(Pdb) bl.drivelist
[]
(Pdb) ret
{'boot': ('xvda', 'First sector of boot partition')}
What’s the correct way to avoid partitioning entirely, and have the system installed into a whole device?
Kind regards
