I know it *can*, but I was under the impression that most people nowadays would have their core.img at sector 1 and so unaffected by swapping the numbers on partitions 6 and 7. But it's a long, long time since I had a FAT partition. If that's got DOS in it, then it may be something to do with booting that.
