Log Message:
Remove option COMPAT_386BSD_MBRPART from default kernels.  NetBSD has
not used partition ID 0x165 for many, many years, and the presence of
this option in INSTALL kernels can cause overwriting of existing FreeBSD
installations when sysinst writes back the disklabel.  Those with very,
very old NetBSD installations may find that they must update their fdisk
partition tables to use partition ID 0x169 for their NetBSD partitions.

This seems like the best of a number of lousy choices for dealing with
this problem.  Sysinst should perhaps grow code that asks whether an
existing 0x165 partition should be converted.
