Does it print out the IP address and MAC address?  If so, the problem
is probably with the fdisk command itself (as opposed to writing the
temp file).

What happens if you run "fdisk /info /tech" by hand after the error?

I think I have seen something similar, where fdisk considers the
CD-ROM to be drive 1 (which is its default).  So try "fdisk /info
/tech 2" and see what that does.

I do not have any good solution for this, other than to use a floppy
or PXE boot instead.  Hm.  I suppose install.pl could "hunt" for the
right drive by running fdisk repeatedly ("fdisk /info 1", "fdisk /info
2", and so on) until it did not get an error.  But this is arguably a
bug in FreeDOS fdisk; it should probably skip CD-ROM drives
automatically.
