No. %post scripts are executed directly after the install of a package.

Sorry. You meant the POST script of a package and not the post-install script of the installer. Then I can see how that would work, but as someone pointed out, with enough RAM in the machine and that might not work either. The only thing that might save us there is if we can get grub to install first so that the actual TIME makes it write to disk. I'm going to go check up on how to make grub be installed first.
