Such question does not make sense if the disk is GPT partitioned

And what is supposed to happen if the disk has an existing MBR and
existing partitions?
Besides which.. Do you want FreeBSD to overwrite the MBR?
Yes.
I've long since given up on FreeBSD for workstations - I simply don't
have the time to get everything right.
Thus
erasing grub when someone is attempting to install FreeBSD alongside
Linux?
How many people actually do that, now that there are so many
virtualization-options?
If you do not want GRUB, you must remove GRUB and revert to a proper
MBR.
And how do you remove GRUB?
The original OS did no longer boot in my case....
Do I need to file a PR for this?
Simply zero out first few MB of the drive, when you create a new
partition map, a new MBR is created.
