Bug description:
  [Testcase]
  * Run installer with apt-setup/proposed=true
  * Attempt to use btrfs as the / filesystem without any other partitions
  * Warning should prevent one from proceeding without creating a non-btrfs /boot partition

  == Comment: #0 - Michael Roesch - 2016-08-02 12:22:00 ==
  Installer version: 451.4

  Partitioning:
  Virtual disk 1 (vda) - 10.7 GB Virtio Block Device
  >     #1  primary  10.7 GB    f  btrfs    /

  When creating this kind of partition layout, the installer does not
  tell you that you need a separate /boot partition for this to work.
  The result is that the installation fails at the end with:

  "Install the ZIPL boot loader on a hard disk

  Installation step failed
  An installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item again from the menu, or skip it and choose something else. The failing step is: Install the ZIPL boot loader on a hard disk "

  The installation completes successfully when you have a separate /boot
  partition.

  I will attach logs of the failing attempt
