Thank you all for your responses. Apparently my responses have been over the 40k limit; I'm not familiar with the site so pardon my delay in responding.
There is only one active partition; it is sda1. it got moved to sda3 where DOS was installed when I used the fdisk that was part of the FreeDOS installation but I moved it back with KDE Partition Manager, the same tool I used to shrink the Linux BTRFS partition on sda2. FD's fdisk would not allow resetting sda1 as active. I will attempt to attach the terminal output showing lsblk -f etc. There is no rescue mode (that I can find) on this release of Fedora; it used to be an option in GRUB. -CH-
