Found the devil. SOmething Trent mentioned about "advanced" options;
and sure enough the ONLY chance to get anaconda to install a *bootable*
second drive is concealed where the sensible would not find it.
Untill they repair anaconda it CAN NOT be fixed after the oriniginal
install. To install to a second drive this MUST be done during the initial
installation.
At the screen where it wants to setup "GRUB"s;
there is a option at the bottom of the GUI page that asks if you want to
specify special parameters? .. .. You have to select this option.
.. .. it's text input box is redundant, IF you select this option the next
screen gives you the option of saving the grubs generated bbotstrape to a
partition of the drive you are installing to.
