Thanks for your offer, yet, what's the gain with your MBR?  Or put 
differently:  what's wrong with the one from FreeBSD?
One thing at least: Due to cramped space it's not easily possible to 
assign more descriptive texts for the menu choices based on the sysid.

For example, we just show "??" for NTFS partitions. FreeBSD fixed this a 
while ago and replaced the sysid of some old FAT type with NTFS. But 
AFAIK they only display "DOS" for NTFS (like for some other FAT types as 
well).

It would be nice to have some better descriptions for people that like 
to multi-boot (like me).
