My goal is to install CentOS 6 and 7 on an entire disk, with no partitioning scheme (e.g. in /dev/xvda). My first attempt was to use “part …. onpart=xvda”, like this: zerombr clearpart --drives=xvda --all --initlabel part / --fstype ext3 --fsoptions=noatime --onpart=xvda The installer actually formats /dev/xvda correctly: │ Creating ext3 filesystem on /dev/xvda │ However, it fails right after that because it tries to read the first item from an empty list: Entering debugger... > /usr/lib/anaconda/platform.py(640)bootloaderChoices() -> ret["mbr"] = (bl.drivelist[0], N_("Master Boot Record (MBR)")) (Pdb) bl.drivelist [] (Pdb) ret {'boot': ('xvda', 'First sector of boot partition')} What’s the correct way to avoid partitioning entirely, and have the system installed into a whole device?
