Have you tried MetaKern? It's meant for sharing DOS boot sectors.

You could also probably just make a boot floppy (or similar) for each.
It might be easier.

BTW, I assume you're using a real physical harddrive and not just
under an emulator. IIRC, some emulators present low-level troubles in
virtual disks that don't happen on real hardware.

 XFdisk would not save any of the changes I made.  Is XFdisk defective or what?

Not that I know of, but it's not actively maintained.

http://www.mecronome.de/xfdisk/

IIRC, FreeDOS actually includes three fdisks: FD Fdisk (Brian
Reifsnyder), XFdisk, and SPFdisk. So you may wish to try one of the
others as well.

 Does anyone have any ideas?

Not really. Believe it or not, installing DOS is less fun than just
using it! Check docs or srcs yourself, if you can.

And finally, the worst (joke) advice of the day: Just use Li ... I
mean, FreeDOS!   ;-)
