You wouldn't happen to have a clue how to handle the 're-install on
dangerously dedicated' case correctly?  It routinely bite people.

This is the case where a disk has only a BSD-bootsector on it, and
sysinstall never-the-less write a standard DOS MBR over it (after
having put up a requester asking the user if he want to, of course).

I tried fixing it, but never got it to work properly :-/
