Subject:   /stand/sysinstall - MBR BUG REPORT

I booted up to FreeBSD 4.5 kern.flp and mfsroot.flp floppies and first went
to "Configure" then "FDisk" and told it that the slice labeled "C" should
be the only bootable slice (I hit S for set bootable and an "A" appeared
next to the "C.")  On the following screen, instead of (what is currently
set up or) the special MBR manager, I selected Standard MBR!

Well I hit Q to finish, and exited the install successfully, but upon
restarting my system I am still prompted with:

F1	DOS
F2	FreeBSD
F3	FreeBSD
F4	FreeBSD

What is annoying is that F2 is really the only bootable slice, I have
abandoned Win98SR1 completely... so how does one demote one's system and
effectively choose to "Commit Changes" or whatever in /stand/sysinstall
once steps similar to those I've described have been followed??!

Thanks kindly,
