Did you do this from anaconda or were you installing from a live CD? It is most definitely an option from anaconda, and as I recall, pretty clear (I managed to find it OK). It musthave been on the screen that asks you about installing bootloaders, but I cant recall exactly where

See http://docs.fedoraproject.org/instal...-advanced.html , but I recall it being clearer than this in practice.

Cheers

Bill

Addendum

Just did a reinstall and had the same problem.

Solution was to boot another distro, and reinstalled grub with

grub-install /mnt /dev/sdb11 (where the F9 partition was mounted on /mnt)

This gave the same error because the device.map file in /boot/grub was wrong (sdb was hd1 but should have been hd0). Edited this, reinstalled grub and all went well
