Sysinstall _provide_ "dangerous dedicated" mode, but don't "turn it on" 
by default. After "A Use Entire Disk" it ask:
	Do you want to do this with a true partition entry
	so as to remain cooperative with any future possible
	operating systems on the drive(s)?
	(See also the section about ``dangerously dedicated''
	disks in the FreeBSD FAQ.)
If press Enter, (answer "Yes"), it leaves out the first "track". If answer 
"No", it will use entire disk (dangerously dedicated), and create correct 
entry in the partition table.
