Correction: s/--enable -F/--interrupt n/ (Was: Re: mbr -- drawing the issue to a close)

A correction... 2.2.6 now in fact uses `--interrupt n', not `--enable
-F', so that there is no prompt on keypress during boot. See for
yourselves... (The first define is only active while TESTING is defined.)
$ grep install-mbr /usr/local/src/cvs.debian.org/debian-boot/boot-floppies/utilities/dbootstrap/bootconfig.c
#define BC_INST_MBR "/sbin/install-mbr --interrupt n %s"
#define BC_INST_MBR "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=\"/target/lib:/target/usr/lib\"; /target/sbin/install-mbr --interrupt n %s"
wideMessageBox(_("The master boot record program that was just installed supports several advanced options that have not been enabled by default. The installed configuration will cause it to behave just like a standard MBR. For information about the advanced features supported by the mbr, please read the 'install-mbr' manual page."), _("Important Information about the installed MBR"));
