To me this displays a quite serious error in the order of operations in the
installer. It should first write any and all files needed to disk. Only if
that works (and the files are properly flushed) should it 1) make backup
copy of MBR, making sure that one too is written to the filesystem and
finally 2) write a new MBR.
