>Release:        FreeBSD 4-STABLE i386
>Organization:
Private FreeBSD site - The Netherlands
>Environment:

        4.3R install CD

>Description:

        The FDISK Partition Editor of sysinstall does not display that
	it also supports 'W' for a forced write of the fdisk table.
	But it does.. And this is really practical in some circumstances
	(like installing 2x FreeBSD on the same disk; which needs 
	fooling sysinstall by changing partition types)

>How-To-Repeat:

        boot install CD 

>Fix:
