bin/48341: [sysinstall] sysinstall deletes mbr although it should not

[Heiner]

I have now tested the installation of FreeBSD 6.1 on a machine with some other 
OS already existing. I've choosen 'none' as described in the bug description. 
The goal was to use the existing boot manager and point it afterwards to the 
FreeBSD installation as well.

Result: the system was not bootable after the FreeBSD installation. An 
analysis shows, that the mbr was not deleted or destroyed; just the active 
flag was removed and the FreeBSD slice was set active. Setting the previous 
slice active resolved the problem!

So the bug text should be replaced by:

sysinstall changes the active slice flag although the corresponding sysinstall 
question was answered with "None - Leave Master Boot Record untouched"
