Doesn't appear to be. I've never had anything but *nix on this machine. I
used it as a FreeBSD server for a while (2 weeks). I really don't know what
is going on behind the scenes; however, I do know what the dialogs in the
Installer told me. I'm going to try to recreate the problem on Monday.

it should default install on the boot sector only in a few cases, like
finding pqmagic or system commander on it, is that it?
