After helping a user on twitter who was having an issue while using the new FreeDOS 1.3-RC3 Floppy Edition, I learned the problem was not in the installer.
But, it was a problem in either the 16-bit kernel, fdisk or format command. Let me explain, so someone else can dig into it further and either create bug report or fix the issue. Boot LiveCD (Kernel386), run FDISK create 100Gb partition, reboot, format, all is good. Boot Floppy Edition (Kernel86), run FDISK create 100Gb, partition, reboot, format (invalid drive error). (also vinfo /d C: throws errorlevel 15, ie needs partitioned) Boot Floppy Edition (Kernel86), run FDISK create 10Gb, partition, reboot, format (invalid drive error). (also vinfo /d C: throws errorlevel 15, ie needs partitioned) Boot LiveCD (Kernel386), run FDISK create 100Gb, partition, reboot, format, All is good. Boot Floppy Edition, dir C:, invalid drive. Boot Floppy Edition (Kernel86), run FDISK create 502mb, partition, reboot, format, all is good. A-Ok. So, I guess it is either be design that larger partitions do not work on the 16bit kernel or a bug somewhere in the kernel, fdisk, format chain. I have far to many projects open to consider further testing or bug hunting.
