Looks like a very good reason to push forward the linux boot strap

Windows Setup does not run on DOS.  It runs on some stripped down
variant of Windows itself (WinPE or something very similar).

So the other way we could fix our partitioning issue would be to switch
to WinPE for our bootstrap.  Except that WinPE is not free:

We might be able to use Bart's PE Builder, which creates a WinPE-like
thing using ordinary Windows media:

  http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/

I do not know whether either of these can run Perl, which is a
prerequisite for us.
