[om-qa] Preliminary bug to be fixed for OMLx3 Beta.

I have two different configurations:

a) MBR, just updated this morning from MCC, installed lsb, lsb-5.0, and
several updates from the repository.  This was not working yesterday.  I
downloaded drivers from Seiko Epson for my printer that required lsb-3.2
and now able to install and test.

Bootloader is on the /dev/sdb and is MBR parted.  It can see itself and
Windows on the /dev/sda MBR parted drive.


b) UEFI, this boot requires me to change my BIOS setting so that it can
boot.  One problem to report with the installation.  I will open a defect.
When you install LX3 for UEFI and do a custom partition, you do not get the
option to select where the "boot" partition will go.  It default to the
/dev/sda when I was installing the distribution on /dev/sdb, an external
USB drive.  It wrote the bootloader to the /dev/sda unit.  First, I change
the system BIOS setting to UEFI.  Next, I connect the UEFI external drive,
boot the system from /dev/sda then select LX.  It does not show the Windows
on /dev/sda.  I expected this behavior because /dev/sda is MBR parted and
/dev/sdb is GPT!

os-probe can not see it which should be the correct behavior from the BIOS
viewpoint.
