Now, in my BIOS, the order of boot preference is CDROM, Floppy Disk,
HDD-0

and HDD-0 is where I think the MBR is and since during installation I
said to install GRUB there, it should've booted from there (since cdr
and floppy drives are empty).

But for some reason, it is failing as described.


I ran into this as well.

Reboot the installer in rescue mode, go through the setup and choose
install grub.
