     DOS can boot from anything, but it assigns "C" letter to active primary
partition on first disk (and continues to read its files from there).
Whereas "active" flag may be switched between partition by boot manager (or
even manually through plain FDISK).

     I think, this is bad way: if user wish to install system to some
partition (which at given time isn't active and, thus, have not "C" label),
then installer should affect only requested partition (which is "C" by
default).
