It will give you a few errors at the end about not being able to find the kernel. ignore them. when it's done exit the install and reboot. This might be the wrong way to do it, but it worked for me. Anyone that passes through this thread feel free to criticize my method if it's wrong. If this was to terse for you, mail me and I'll write some more detailed instructions.
