> Yes, CF geometry may cause problems to DOS

To rr: here is root cause of problem: a) fdisk b) your BIOS.

Both of them have own opinion (sometime - different then have modern software) about geometry. Also, BIOS'es had restriction to geometry (does not see full possible 7.5/8GB HDD), some late unrestricted BIOS - have geometry bug. So, it is complicated. Easy way:

Make partitions with MS-Dos FDISK on real dos-hardware, only.

I have bad expirience with 2/4 GB micro sd's: any MBR modifications on modern hardware - broke dos boot (partition resizing etc).

"If you want install ms-dos - just install ms-dos (in dos-way)".

Make DOS great again!
