Public bug reported:
The installation will error out and the following is available in syslog
Removing the bootcd package before installation prevents any issues from
happening

It appears to stem from this line in bootcdinitamfshook

As running that on my systems results in:

And the for loop trips up on the outputs that have "diverted by", which
I believe ar ebeing diverted to the /usr merge
