            Bug ID: 244085
           Summary: FreeBSD 12.1 install installs corrupted MBR
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: jcarchambeau at gmail.com

This issue manifests itself regardless of drive or hardware.  It's been
consistent on both of my HP Microserver G7 N54Ls and my Lenovo Thinkserver
TS430 under FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE. 

1. Install FreeBSD.
2. Reboot.

Machine either hands at booting or boots to a boot error.

Workaround;

1. Boot FreeDOS
2. fdisk <drive number> /mbr
3. Reboot.
