Caveat: This is all way way WAY over my head. So I'm not much help, but ...
1). SYS.COM says this:
FreeDOS System Installer v3.6e, Feb 7 2012
Usage: SYS [source] drive: [bootsect] [{option}]
source = A:,B:,C:\DOS\,etc., or current directory if not given
drive = A,B,etc.
bootsect = name of 512-byte boot sector file image for drive:
to write to *instead* of real boot sector
{option} is one or more of the following:
...
/B btdrv : hex BIOS # of boot drive set in bs, 0=A:, 80=1st hd,...
2). I'm not sure this was ever tested with FreeDOS proper, only other
DOSes, as it used "lots of undocumented, low-level stuff", but maybe
this will also be of interest??
