Public bug reported: I performed manual partitioning. In addition to a swap partition and the reiserfs partition, I left several megabytes free at the beginning of the disk for the GPT/bios_grub partition (the approach works fine for ext4 partitions). The installation proceeds without error. On reboot the Mac "Folder with question mark" icon is shown (meaning no bootable partitions found).
