Ok, let's try this:  We refuse to install on a partition UNLESS:

  - A filesystem can be identified in it.

  - This filesystem is known to reserve the first block for DOS-style
    chainload.

If these conditions aren't met, user will have to override our check.

Patch attached.  Also in people/robertmh/grub-setup-fs-probe.
