>Description:
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
