Public bug reported:
Attempting to install Groovy using cd image. Normal until bootloader
install. The system is not EFI capable (older server, some VMs).
Installer advises without EFI the system will crash, etc. Though there
is a grub/bios partition, and a btrfs install proceeded normally up till
the installer bootloader complaint. After choosing 'continue anyway'
and being told I'd have to install a boot loader myself, the installer
crashed with what you see in this report.
