<div class="admonition info">
<p class="admonition-title">Associated release criterion</p>
<p>This test case is associated with the <a href="../../../guidelines/release_criteria/r9/9_release_criteria/#bootloader-disk-selection">Release_Criteria#Bootloader Disk Selection</a> release criterion. If you are doing release validation testing, a failure of this test case may be a breach of that release criterion.</p>
</div>
<h2 id="description">Description<a class="headerlink" href="#description" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h2>
<p>This test case verifies that the user is able to select an alternative disk on which to install the bootloader. It also verifies that, if the user is so inclined, they may choose not to install a bootloader at all.</p>
<div class="admonition error">
<p class="admonition-title">DATA LOSS</p>
<p><strong>Depending on installer choices this MAY destroy all the data on the test system.</strong>
If you choose to complete the installation of the test system any/all data on the system may be lost. Please do not install on a system whose contents you need to keep.</p>
