Description Claudiu Vasadi 2011-06-05 22:50:08 UTC 
Selecting ""None" Do not install a boot manager" at the "Install Boot
Manager for drive" screen, still overwrites the current MBR with the
FreeBSD boot loader.

How-To-Repeat: Have another OS already installed on the machine; boot a 8.2-RELEASE
amd64 FreeBSD DVD and choose:

"Standard"
- create a FreeBSD slice (press "Q" to quit when done)
- select: ""None" Do not install a boot manager"
- continue with a normal installation
- reboot
- observe the MBR overwritten

sysinstall has been replaced by bsdinstall in FreeBSD 9.x. Closing.
