Description

When running the installer from rw media (pfsense-memstick image in this case) the installer offers the drive/partition I'm booting from as an install target. The bootblock installer also defaults to offering to rewrite the boot drive's bootblocks.

I don't see this when running the installer from CD (ro).

I'm assuming this is a bug, not a feature, but perhaps it's really clever and my use case just never would want to do this?
