I'm inclined to think you'd avoid problems because DOS version <= 3.30 wouldn't recognize a partition > 32 MB, therefore any attempt to SYS it would yield just an error message, wouldn't work at all. But I have no such early versions of DOS to experiment with. But another hazard is that with MS-DOS through v4 required system files to be in a particular location on the disk to be bootable. Therefore SYS could damage existing files.
