Can I choose where to install GRUB?

I have on my hard disk several installations of Arch Linux. One is stable for work, others are for testing and building system another ways. Sometime I need reinstall one of testing system and I need install their bootloader on their partitions, not on /sda. Old installator offered all partitions for install bootloader, but 2011.08.19 installator offers only /sda. How can I change it for example on /sda4 ?

You can install grub manually from the install media for now.

grub-install <target>

Why can't you just install GRUB in MBR? I think it would be more convenient in your case.
