Comments/Problems:
After the installation is done, and the first reboot, the following message shows, before it evens load grub. Grub is installed to the MBR and detects Win7 fine (as a Vista boot loader though).
 
"non-system disk or disk error
replace and strike any key when ready"

It does not matter if I set the / with a boot flag or not. Same error.
 
Only problem during the installation, was I could not select the Danish keyboard layout. Only when I selected United States / America, it showed. So there is still a bug here.
