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.
