Yes, but the great thing about the Debian Installer is that you won't
have to ;) Unless you've done some interesting things to your install,
the installer will recognise your sarge install--there should be a
screen that says something to the effect of "Are all your other
operating systems listed below? // Debian Sarge (on hda2)". If you see
that, it should be safe to overwrite your MBR.
