I didn't run into that. The installer correctly identified the root
partition, MBR etc. I only was burned by the fact it listed /dev/sdb1
as a cdrom device in fstab, but /dev/sdb1 was basically behaving like
one. So when a thumb was plugged in after the install had completed, it
would fail to auto mount on my desktop as expected. Suppose a udev rule
was confused. Mounting the device to a mount point by hand worked fine.
