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.
Comment 7 Thierry Vignaud 2013-03-17 17:02:42 CET 
Closing as there's not much we can do

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => WONTFIX

Comment 8 Thierry Vignaud 2016-06-22 02:55:27 CEST 
Actually this one is fixed for mga6

Resolution: WONTFIX => FIXED
