Try leaving out the device part.. let it find it itself based on the
install.  I usually avoid using device lines for partitioning when
possible too and it tends to work well.  The bootloader section I use by
default is:
  <bootloader>
    <activate config:type="boolean">false</activate>
    <loader_type>grub</loader_type>
    <location>mbr</location>
    <repl_mbr config:type="boolean">true</repl_mbr>
  </bootloader>

BTW, if you're settings the disk(s) to one logical device via raid (or
only have 1 disk) you don't need to specify the device in the
partitioning at all either.
