The version of Fdisk included with OpenDos v7.01 (and up) allows you to
specify the starting and ending cylinder numbers for the partitions.
(just like Linux Fdisk)
So, I simply chose 0 to 33 for partition 1 and then when I formated the
partition, format marked cluster 0 as bad.
Now that I know cluster 0 is bad... I could redo everything and choose
1 to 33 instead of 0 to 33.
