Upon installing the beta of vyos on a 32gb SSD, the auto partitioner partitions the harddrive from sector 0 to the end, which causes the grub installation to fail.

Workaround: manual partition, leaving space at the start of the drive.

(parted) mkpart primary ext4 2048s 100%

@flash can you retest with latest builds?

@syncer I'm doing almost daily installs for testing in an ESXi environment. No problems. I think this one can be closed ..

@syncer please close and reopen if req.
