 Yes I mean the mbr+bsdlabel  method as there is no other method available in
 sysinstall. And along with this, help info needs to be added explaining
 under what conditions one method or the other is used. Help saying something
 along the lines of older PC bios./hard drives use the mbr+bsdlabel
 sysinstall method and newer PC bios./hard drives (manufactured 2010+) need
 to use the bsdinstall method because pc manufactures and Microsoft have
 changed the boot process. Or what ever is the true reason for this
 difference. Installers need to have the correct info so they can make the
 correct decision about what method to select.
