LG> Isn't the "real bootable partition" always assigned to C:?
Not completely. See initdisk.c:ReadAllPartitionTables() - in case of
MS-DOS order there always searched first primary active partition on _first_
disk. (If there is no active partition, searched any first primary
partition). Only in case of (FreeDOS featured) "sorted by drives Drive
Letter Assignment" FreeDOS assigns C: to _real_ active partition (see how
first loop searches real boot drive).
BTW, I think this (slightly) misleading, when (boot) partition from
secondary disk becomes C:. Again, I suggest, probably, better to _not_ make
it C:, but in main.c:FreeDOSmain() make it default (to allow process
(fd)config.sys from it).
LG> Let's concentrate on bgfixing before the imminent FD1 release.
I not object, but this question may be studied _for future releases_.
Isn't? :)
