| From the little I've played with it it seems to put an MBR on the disk :-)
| This isn't so silly because so does NT :-)

Actually, NT does not touch the MBR, which is why both FreeBSD's and NT's 
boot managers can live on the same disk with no conflict. This is at least 
true for NT4; don't know about Linux since I don't use it. ;)
