After at least 3 decades, one might think a DOS disk partitioner, or the FreeDOS
installer, might have acquired an ability to not disturb anything that is part
of
the target partition. No such was or is apparent. Now that FreeDOS is installed,
only it can be booted, because it presumed it OK to move the boot flag off the
partition on which I placed it. Fdisk remains of the errant notion that the boot
flag can only be valid on a DOS partition, which is wholly untrue. Now I must
locate some bootable Linux CD to boot for the singular purpose of changing two
bytes in the partition table in order to make my other 20+ operating systems
bootable again.
What other damage is awaiting my discovery once the boot flag is back where it
was?
