I just adore the install. Esp. of GRUB.
Does *anyone* who works on GRUB actually work in the real world, and not only on brand new machines?
I just had happen at work what happened last fall on my home system: then, I had /dev/hda, and was trying a clean install on a new SATA drive; right now, I'm installing on a replacement disk on a server that has no CD/DVD drive from a USB key. My options: on my home system, it was MRR on /dev/hda (which was being replaced, and was to become my backup drive), and here, in the MBR of the USB key; in both cases, *only* in the first sector of a partition on the new drive. I am NEVER OFFERED THE OPTION of the MBR of the drive I'm installing to.

Not a GRUB bug, rather, Anaconda being overly "helpful".
