Could be, but the question is - how does smart DOS, that boots perfectly
as a master, suddenly become stupid when it is slaved?
I can expect weird things with DOS sharing a hard drive with other
OS's, but this is a separate drive, with DOS bootloader in its MBR.
It's only association to the master is the menu.lst. There
are no FAT partitions on the other drive to confuse it.
