If you want grub to right to MBR on the first drive, you don't have to
tell it anything.

If you DO pick a drive, it does not write to MBR, but the first
partition on the drive (or another one if you pick that).  That is
needed sometimes, but not most of the time.  Most of the time, you do
not want to go into the advanced settings at all (if centos is going to
reside on it's own drive).
