>Description:
Created new partitions and slices (MBR-Mode).
bsdinstall has overwritten Win7 boot code, es it seems---no questions
any more (like in sysinstall) whether we want it to do this or not!?

(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 whether 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.

State-Changed-Why:  
Can you provide some more detail on how this happened? bsdinstall never 
touches the MBR under any circumstances, so this having happened may indicate 
a kernel bug.
