Um, this seems like a very weird situation. Not sure I believe what the message is telling me -- since it makes no sense to make such a backwards step. I say this from the perspective of burning an 11.1 x86_64 DVD and setting everything up, including a /boot partition with my file systems formatted in XFS.

It is a known and documented issue. Grub can not be safely installed on an XFS partition. You have to format /boot on something else, preferably ext2 (not 3), and install grub there or on the MBR.
