Under DOS, it always uses the C: drive, which is the first active FAT
partition.

Under Linux, the /etc/master script scans for the first active
partition and uses that.

To install on a particular partition, delete it and create a 2G FAT32
partition in its place.  Then activate that partition.

This should work for dual-booting provided your boot loader activates
the partition from which it boots.
