I did not get why you want to boot DOS from other than C primary.
If it has to do with booting other OS, I have not found that to be an
issue. For a couple decades I have ha
I'm sure if I used OS/2 Bootman that would be fine. I'm using BeOS Bootman.

Hi. I know it's a DOS thing to want C:, but with a more modern implementation,
I think it shouldn't care. I don't need to hide any partitions, because it is
already the first FAT partition. I can install it, but when booting I get the
error, "No Kernel.SYS".

I've tried some different options. Acronis, Plop 5 and 6, XOSL, all seem to be

Thanks for the quick responses.

Apparently, `chainloading.'

Hi!
Logical partitions are organized as a chain, while
primary partitions have absolute pointers from the
MBR. So it is harder for the boot sector to know
where the partition starts and where to search for
the kernel. You could work this around by storing
the information in the boot sector. It

Looking into it, it seems like it may be an issue with installing to a logical
partition. What process can I use to boot off of the logical partition? If
