Hi again! Dear, Bernd, everything had been fine (paths and filesizes) but one thing: fdisk and bootmgr were returning wrong bootsector dumps!
I got it back to Win98SE, and invoked bootfix. Unfortunately, bootfix returns everything in a text (ascii) format, so I had to use FreePascal (from the FreeDOS distro!) to write a little program that read the bootfix's output, "parsed" it and outputted the binary bootsector image to another file. Then I did everything as before and it worked (from the second attempt for some reason, maybe I had made a typo somewhere). .. I had spend quite a lot of time trying to figure out what was wrong, so I think this tip (to use nothing else than bootfix to get the bootsector) should be incorporated into the FreeDOS installer's howto and/or metakern's manual. .. And bootfix should be endowed with an option to output the bootsector in the plain binary format.
