The above attachment is from a clean vbox net-install today with grub2 selected at the summary with installation to MBR.

Comment 6 Thierry Vignaud 2013-03-17 16:42:32 CET

That's not really a bug.

We install first the OS then set up it (including the bootloader).

However basesystem requires "bootloader" which is provided by grub, grub2 & lilo
meta-task's /etc/urpmi/prefer.vendor.list says we prefer grub as default.

Closing as there's not much we can do
