        Greetings: FWIW - DrDos 7.03 from Caldera puts Dos in
/dev/hda4 - the many times I've done it.. Disk Manager, that's
bundled with Seagate, Connor, Western Digital and Maxtor puts it
in either /hda1 or /hda4 here, not sure which does what, not
documented it at the time. I've never seen one in /hda3?? Is
everyone talking about a _fresh_ install to a blank HD??

        However FDISK has an Xpert option that can change from /hda4
to /hda1, but I found that, then, cfdisk doesn't like the mess...

        A real crap shoot, eh?? I suspect that BasLinux being Basic
it should concern itself with the 4 primaries only.. <g>

        I've fetched the latest FreeDOS, still Beta 9, to see what it
does..
