Thanks to all who responded!!
It turns out that sector 1 and 2 need to be available but not partitioned.
I was able to do this in Disk Druid by NOT selecting "new". Instead I
double clicked the free space and created a partition using sectors 1
and 2. I then created the rest of my partitions. Finally as a last
step I deleted the partition that used sectors 1 and 2. This allowed
boot loader to be installed on sectors 1 and 2.
Thanks again!
Jim
