Installer version: 451.4

Virtual disk 1 (vda) - 10.7 GB Virtio Block Device
> #1 primary 10.7 GB f btrfs /
When creating this kind of partition layout, the installer does not tell
you that you need a separate /boot partition for this to work. The
result is that the installation fails at the end with:
"Install the ZIPL boot loader on a hard disk
Installation step failed
An installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item again from
the menu, or skip it and choose something else. The failing step is: Install
the ZIPL boot loader on a hard disk "
The installation completes successfully when you have a separate /boot
partition.
I will attach logs of the failing attempt
