svn commit: r277950 - head/usr.sbin/bsdinstall/partedit

Author: nwhitehorn

New Revision: 277950
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/277950

Log:
  Use MBR by default on BIOS systems. An increasing number of motherboards
  assume that GPT means UEFI boot, resulting in the installation of
  uninstallable systems. This needs a little more work before MFC, in
  particular based on disk size (> 2 TB + BIOS + MBR is not workable). That
  will come soon.
