Good point. However, it is certainly not appropriate to leave a useless 
boot manager on the only disk in the system. :-) I propose that, if the 
user has indicated that NetBSD gets the whole disk, that a follow-on 
question come up, along the lines of "do you want NetBSD's boot loader 
added to that system (probably answer yes unless there are other bootable 
disks in this system)".
