the same reason that was valid in 1982 is still valid today: machines
with only one floppy drive and no harddisk. I have a couple of these
machines where I use FreeDOS on (not only old machines, even some
relatively modern machines where the hard drives have been removed).
The function is important when working in such environments.
However it might be possible to introduce a configuration option in
config.sys that disables this function if users wish (or even inhibit
the phantom drive B: by default in case FreeDOS detects at least one
usable hard-drive partition during boot-up).
Greetings
Carsten
