Comments/Problems:
Installation went fine so far, installing basesystem and additional
task ('Standard system') works fine, until it came to installing a
boot loader.
First I tried to install lilo, I selected to install into the MBR.
This lead to the error /sbin/lilo failed with error code "1"
syslog contains this:
Unpacking lilo (from .../l/lilo/lilo_23.2-4_i386.deb) ...

E
:
Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Then I tried grub, but it failed too:
syslog is not very verbose here:
grub-installer: info: Calling 'apt-install grub-pc' failed
WARNING **: Configuring 'grub-installer' failed with error code 1
WARNING **: Menu item 'grub-installer' failed.
I am unsure, what is the reason here, since I am trying to install into
the MBR, so the type of the root filesystem should be of no interest?
Don't know if this is relevant here, but probably btrfs-tools should be
installed somehow? (in this case it is not installed.)
