>Description:
	Release Notes for 7.2 say:

"The boot(8) now supports 4-byte volume ID that certain versions of Windows.
put into the MBR",

http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.2R/relnotes-detailed.html#BOOT

	However, this support is not compiled by default and
	7.2 still destroys Serial Number that Windows Vista and later
	needs unconditionally (Windows XP needs it when its boot disk
	is not C:), so let's enable it. It works perfectly.
	
>How-To-Repeat:

	Make backup of MBR when your system has Windows Vista or later
	installed in one of slices then install BootEasy. Your Windows
	won't boot until MBR contents restored.

>Fix:
