>Description:
my win2k/ntfs partition is marked as active, but when starting
the sysinstall fdisk utility, it doesn't show any partition as
active. if i go ahead and write to disk without manually setting
the active partition, the next boot will boot into freebsd
instead of windows.

State-Changed-When: Wed Jun 16 23:55:49 UTC 2010 
State-Changed-Why:  
sysinstall obtains the list of slices from kern.geom.conftxt.  Unfortunately  
that doesn't contain the flags so sysinstall has no way of knowing which slice  
is active. Suspend this PR pending a rewrite of the slice editor.
