The target VM has two virtual IDE drives, sda (8 GB) for / and sdb
(0.5GB) for /boot. Installation proceded normally until time to install
the bootloader, which failed. Pop-up window said bootloader installation
failed, and I chose to continue anyway in order to acquire as much log
information as possible.

Suggestions? I could report a bug against anaconda, but I feel I might
have done something silly. Also, before I cry bug, I would want to check
if a similar thing occurs on real hardware.
Is there more specific information somewhere about what write caused:
09:27:42,393 ERR anaconda: bootloader.write failed: boot loader install failed
