"Install Bootloader" step

Hi,

I was working through installation of Arch and had something come up during the "Install Bootloader" step that was disconcerting. When presented with a list of places in which to install GRUB, it listed /dev/sda twice in succession; there was no obvious difference between the two, but I wonder why it decided to list it twice. After the /dev/sda's came the partitions /dev/sda1 etc.

I selected the first /dev/sda and things seem to work, but, as I said above, it just seems somewhat strange and I would like to understand better what happened.

I am installing Arch in VMware, if that's relevant.

Thanks!
