Version 1.4.1 (2025-01-18)
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.
