9.1-RC2 - could it be that the installer does not write the MBR?

[Adrian Chadd]

Guys/girls/etc,

I do suggest that someone actually spends some time coming up with a
table of "what the current state is", "what we could do", "what would
happen if we did that."

Right now there's a lot of possibilities (new drive, drive with
windows, drive with linux, drive with linux/windows, drive with legacy
freebsd MBR, etc) and as an outsider trying to figure out what is
actually the "right" sounding behaviour, it's difficult for me to sit
down and digest all these emails that chip away at a bit of the
problem at a time.

So if you'd like to see this fixed, I really do suggest that one of
you dumps some time into coming up with a basic table like I said
above, work with others who can correct/flesh out the various options
to take into account, and then we can come up with a real solution.
Then 9.1 can go out the door.
