Workaround

If you install the product without using anaconda (the minimal installer included into the first project it will work)

Steps to Reproduce

1) Create a project with 
--dl-layers \
--layers=wr-installer \
--distros=wrlinux-std-sato \
--templates feature/xfce,feature/installer-support,feature/gdb \
--machine intel-x86-32

2) Set the environment
. ./environment-setup-x86_64-wrlinuxsdk-linux
. ./oe-init-build-env build

3) Enable internet download with BB_NO_NETWORK and build the image
bitbake wrlinux-image-glibc-std-sato

4) Create the installer directory
mkdir installer
. ./oe-init-build-env installer

5) Enable internet with BB_NO_NETWORK and build the installer
bitbake wrlinux-image-installer

6) dd the iso image, install the image on a x86 device with default configurations

7) Boot the device without the USB, it will fail booting
