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??!
