I'm working on a patch to switch from yahoot to grub.
I've encountered one problem. Grub doesn't like '(hd0)' syntax but works with '/dev/sda1'
[anaconda root@(none) /]# cat /mnt/sysimage/boot/grub2/device.map
# this device map was generated by anaconda
(hd0) /dev/sda
[anaconda root@(none) /]# cat /tmp/program.log
...
18:21:28,809 INFO program: Running... grub2-install --no-floppy (hd0,1)
18:21:29,929 ERR program: /sbin/grub2-probe: error: cannot stat `(hd0,1)'.
18:21:29,930 INFO program: The chosen partition is not a PReP partition.

[anaconda root@(none) /]# chroot /mnt/sysimage/
[anaconda root@9-5-90-148 /]# grub2-install --no-floppy '(hd0,1)'

This also needs patch to grub to accept GRUB_TERMINFO. The grub patch is appended to anaconda's.
