>Description:
When editing the MBR partition table in sysinst (in a
partial-disk install), one of the screens allow one to mark
which MBR partition is going to be the active one, apparently
from distrib/utils/sysinst/arch/i386/menus.md.en, entry
"editpart". However, when an MBR partition is selected to be
the active one, no visual feedback is given to indicate that
the action has been taken.
>How-To-Repeat:
Set up a machine with a partial-disk install; get to above
menu, and observe lack of visual feedback.
>Fix:
Sorry, don't know.
