bsdinstall has overwritten Win7 boot code, es it seems---no questions any more (like \
in sysinstall) wether we want it to do this or not!?

(Win7 still there (mountable in freeBSD), but not bootable.
Neither ``Startup repair'' nor bootrec in the ``command Prompt'' of Win7's DVD could \
repair it---althoug dir works on it in the mentioned win-cmd-prompt.)

I am sure, that I am not the only one who would appreciate it very much, if we had \
the chance to choose wether to write down a bootloader into the disk or not (as we \
had with sysinstall)
> How-To-Repeat:
Created new partitions and slices (MBR-Mode) in new installer called bsdinstall.
