Description Ben McMonagle 2017-01-31 09:48:53 CET

Description of problem: At the completion of installation, the installer proposes as the system to boot that is at a different partition than that which has just been installed.
eg, I installed a system on sde3 as / and sde4 as /home and the installer proposes sde19 as the default system. I need to choose "Mageia" for the boot-loader menu.

@ tv, @ barjac

Is it possible that not correcting the proposed default would have led to the just installed Mageia being the default, anyway?
