d25150d087 Don't try to convert the CHS values if not needed. Add extra flag
to write_mbr to for this.

337300d376 Change partition type if we're installing into an old 386bsd partition.
Check if there's no active partition after MBR editing.
Ask for own MBR to be installed if we're booting from out of CHS range.
Ask for bootselector to be installed if > 1 OS, and configure it.

a5d73e00eb Rework the MBR code, and some of the labelling code.
* Use structures, not 2-dimensional arrays..
	* Use the DIOCGDEFLABEL ioctl to get the disk information,
	  to avoid confusion with (older) labels.
	* Don't ever call fdisk for partitioning. This was the
	  source of much confusion.
	* For the i386, use the BIOS geometry information passed by
	  the bootblocks.

Lots of things left to do, but it's a start.

1483395dbe Move DOS BIOS-geometry and MBR-handling code to MI code for powerpc, arc:
* Split bios geometry and MBR partition editing code formerly in
    arch/i386/{md,fdisk}.c to mbr.c in mi  directory.
  * Leave /sbin/fdisk parsing/handling code in separate file,
    we may want to change it later. move to mi directory.
  * Create mbr.h with declarations for MBR/BIOS-geomotry code.
    #include "mbr.h" in  i386 md.h.
  * Use symbolic names for 386bsd and new NetBSD partition IDs.

Handle MBRs with both 386bsd and NetBSD partitions less stupidly.
