	You're right, it does have those three options.  Standard basically
means delete any boot manager that's there and don't replace it with
anything.  Just make it a plain mbr.

	Usually during the install it will then do a newfs on each mount point
and start the install.  I don't know if there's a way to tell to just
zap the mbr and that's all.  In the past I had used a dos boot floppy
with fdisk on it.
