5.2-RC1 messes up MBR

Despite saying "none" in the bootloader part of sysinstall, the
installation seems to have done something to the MBR of my laptop.  On
booting, I got neither lilo nor FreeBSD's booteasy, but some garbage
characters and a hang; I needed to boot a livecd and re-run lilo to
fix this.
