12
+ ---------------------------
13
+ Fixes:
14
+ - MEDIUM: fix bootloader trying to boot from an active partition
15
+ not containing a valid volume boot record instead of showing an
16
+ error message.
17
+
18
+ Changes:
19
+ - Do not automatically activate a created primary partition when
20
+ it is created via command line and no other partition is active, as
21
+ this turned out to be a backwards incompatible change to FDISK 1.3.4
22
+ shipped with FreeDOS 1.3, breaking the installation process if the
23
+ BIOS is configured to boot from hard disk first.
24
+ - Change boot code installed via /IPL to issue an INT 18 if there is
25
+ no bootable partition, either because none is active, or the active
26
+ one does not contain a valid BIOS signature. There is a message and
27
+ a three second delay before issueing the INT 18.
28
+ - Add undocumented /NOIPL command line argument which prevents FDISK
29
+ from writing boot code into an implicitly created MBR. IPL area is
30
+ filled with zero instead.
