Between TC1 and release of F16 Alpha, something must have changed to the worse with regard to installing GRUB to a partition's primary sector. Partitioning hasn't changed. TC1 managed to install GRUB to /dev/sda3. Anaconda now reports failure to install, and I've found this on virtual console:
/usr/sbin/grub2-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a partitionless disk or to a partitionj. This is a BAD idea..
/usr/sbin/grub2-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
/usr/sbin/grub2-setup: error: will not proceed with blocklists.
Bug or feature?
