tazinstall-gui/tazinst cannot install bootloader

I have been trying to install the current rolling iso to an SD card attached to a SD card reader thru USB.

I installed tazinst 3.94 and tazinst-gui 3.94.

I partitioned a 2GB SD card using only 2 partitions to ext3 and linux swap in gparted.

When I make my selections in the installer, I leave everything default except I select my ISO as sourse and destination as sdc1.

I also try to select "install bootloader". I get an error everytime I try to install the bootloader.

"Install a bootloader.* Error: No disk selected, cannot install any bootloader. "

How do I select the disk? I have sdc1 selected to install slitaz to.

Re: tazinstall-gui/tazinst cannot install bootloader

And the output of:

# ls /sys/block

Thank you for your help.

Re: tazinstall-gui/tazinst cannot install bootloader

root@slitaz:/home/tux#  ls /sys/block

loop0  loop2  loop4  loop6  ram0   ram10  ram12  ram14  ram2   ram4   ram6   ram8   sda    sdc

loop1  loop3  loop5  loop7  ram1   ram11  ram13  ram15  ram3   ram5   ram7   ram9   sdb

There are 2 things I've noticed.

1. In the above command "sdc" only appeared after I plugged in my SD card and tried the installer again. I issued ls /sys/block before I plugged in my SD card and "sdc" was not shown.

2. In the above post where I issued the command "tazinst list", I noticed that dev/sdc1 shows 2 different UUIDs in the line after *usb:
