>Description:
With the 4.3-RELEASE install disks when selecting "'A' use entry disk"
in the partitions menu, it don't ask to do it with true partitions
or not, it make just true partition entrys. On some older hardware
(like CPQ Proliant 1500 with Smart-Array) it is needed, otherwise
FreeBSD won't find the root partition after install and reboot.

State-Changed-Why:  
In 4.3-RELEASE, there is an undocumented key which will do what you 
want.  It's been documented (rev. 1.28 of 
src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/disks.c) since, so this is not a problem.
