Hi!

If you boot FreeDOS from D: then it will still first
try to open C:fdconfig.sys and if that does not exist
it will use (Windows') C:config.sys - but it will not
try to use D:fdconfig.sys or D:config.sys ... However,
you can keep all other FreeDOS files on D: :-).

Note that "installing to D:" does not necessarily mean
that DOS will call the partition "D:" after you boot
from it, but you can easily check that with DIR ;-).
