A little background. My first PC ran DOS 3.3 on a 28M HDD that I broke into three partitions, all primaries. Since the extended came out every machine I have had has had a single primary - 2G or less, Fat 16 - with one or more installs of DOS and maybe Win9X. The rest of the drive, and any other drives have been a single extended, which carried whatever GUI OSs I was running as well as apps and data.
I just took a fresh HDD, created a 2G, primary at the front, and for the first time ever, that partition is FAT32. I then created several fat32 logicals. I ran the 1.1 CD. When I got to the MBR selection at the end I selected the boot loader. Boot yields "non system disk". Ran CD again. Selected make floppy. Nothing was written to the disk. Ran CD again. Selected write FreeDOS to MBR. Boot is OK. Should the boot loader and floppy selections be expected to work?
