I'm taking the words right out of the installation utility. There
is a check just before partdisk that evidently scans the hard disk
for its mbr. If there is no mbr it prompts the user to install a
new mbr assuming that the disk is completely blank. Since my disk's
first few blocks were completely mangled in a crash the installation
utility assumed the mbr didn't exist. Yay for me cuz now the disk
works again.
