Bug Description
I installed the Hoary preview release, and I set up my root partition as JFS.
Everything went fine except for the installation of Grub to the MBR. It
attempts, then says that it fails. It will not install to the partition
superblock either.
The correct stage files for booting a JFS partition do get installed. I was
able to install grub to the MBR using a generic grub boot floppy, and my system
boots fine, with grub, from a JFS partition. However, the automated installer
chokes.
