You probably do need to use `fdisk /MBR:80`. 80h was the traditional IO port for the first BIOS HDD. IIRC, 00h for Floppy A:, 01h for Floppy B:, all non-removables (usually meaning HDD) start at 80h. This may be different for a BIOS (some Dell, Compaq, HP BIOSes, IIRC) that supports Zip 100/250

Your suggestion to "fdisk /mbr:81" (81=D:) was making much sense to me because the disk was having grub on it before I erase all with fdisk to make place for FreeDOS. So yes, it made sense that grub being installed in MBR might made me not having normal MBR. But trying "fdisk /mbr:81" have not help
