I choosed 'Guided partitioning' -> use hole disk -> everything on one
partition -> I changed root-filesystem from ext4 into btrfs after that.
grub-installer and lilo-installer failed, when it came to installing
the bootloader to the MBR.
Here are some infos from the logs (partly roughly translated from
german to english):
[Trying to install grub2 to MBR]
info: Installing grub on '/dev/sda'
info: grub-install supports --no-floppy
info: Running chroot /target grub-install --no-floppy --force "/dev/sda"

[Holger: yes, /dev was mounted.
/dev/sda, /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda5 were existing]
.
