There is no option to install the bootloader to /boot, but there is an
option to not install any bootloader. See here:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html/Installation_Guide/s1-diskpartsetup-x86.html#s1-x86-bootloader

Feel free to refer to the rest of that document to answer other
questions you may have in the future -- that's what it's for.
