(Win7 still there (mountable in freeBSD), but not bootable. Neither ``Startup repair'' nor bootrec in the ``command Prompt'' of Win7's DVD could repair it---althoug dir works on it in the mentioned win-cmd-prompt.) I am sure, that I am not the only one who would appreciate it very much, if we had the chance to choose wether to write down a bootloader into the disk or not (as we had with sysinstall) >How-To-Repeat: Created new partitions and slices (MBR-Mode) in new installer called bsdinstall. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
