#7930: Installer doesn't install bootman and DriveSetup doesn't set the created

Comment (by pulkomandy):
I changed the description because what was stated before (virtualbox and
all that) doesn't have anything to do with the actual problem.
There are several solutions to it :
* Drivesetup could put a default MBR when creating the partition map. I
don't think it does
* It could also activate the created partition if it is the only one on
the drive
* Or, this could be fixed in installer by detecting an empty MBR and
asking to install bootman on it
I didn't propose any solution, just made the ticket title related to the
involved tools. Before it sounded like a hardware crash early in
bootloader or kernel boot, now it's clear that it's just a missing MBR,
and thus a problem at install time.
