GRUB installs to MBR regardless on dual boot install

Hi,

Just tried my first dual boot installation of FC4test3 (with Windows XP), and I chose to install GRUB to the first sector of my /boot partition rather than the MBR as I wanted to allow the Windows bootloader to control the boot process (just makes it easier to later remove test3).

However, on first boot, it booted straight into GRUB and GRUB has been installed to the MBR despite specifically being told not to during the installation!

It's not a problem for me per se as the dual boot works fine, and I guess it's a little late to report as a bug, but was just wondering if this is a known issue?

Ned
