I choosed 'Guided partitioning' -> use hole disk -> everything on one partition -> I changed root-filesystem from ext4 into btrfs after that. grub-installer and lilo-installer failed, when it came to installing the bootloader to the MBR. Here are some infos from the logs (partly roughly translated from german to english): [Trying to install grub2 to MBR] info: Installing grub on '/dev/sda' info: grub-install supports --no-floppy info: Running chroot /target grub-install --no-floppy --force "/dev/sda" /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?)
