(lvm was set up earlier, manual partitioning was chosen) Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [O] Detect network card: [O] Configure network: [ ] Detect CD: [ ] Load installer modules: [ ] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Install base system: [O] Clock/timezone setup: [ ] User/password setup: [O] Install tasks: [O] Install boot loader: [E] Overall install: [O] Comments/Problems: the grub installation step to the MBR failed, the log complained about problems with /proc/devices. when trying to reproduce the problem at a console, i found that grub-install was not installed in the installation environment, but only on the target. when i chrooted in there, grub-install produced the same error message about /proc/devices. after bind mounting the outside /proc to /target/proc, the grub installation step succeeded. (sorry about using the alpha installer, it was what i had at hand; the beta1 changelog didn't mention /proc related changes.)
