This was This will no longer be an issue as of the first beta test compose. To get grub2 installed on sdb2 you can switch to the shell on tty2, run 'chroot /mnt/sysimage', then run "grub2-install --force '(hd1,2)'". If you're using live media, ignore the part about tty2; just start a shell, and run 'su -' to get root, then run the chroot and grub2-install commands above. > kinda a bummer since it wiped out my TereabyteUnilimted Boot Manager > making Windows, openSUSE and Ubuntu unbootable.
