New observation from Fritz: According to the FreeDOS kernel, FAT16 partitions made with the current FDISK have an exactly 1 cylinder "real versus calculated" (CHS, LBA, size...) mismatch which lets them end at the end of the first cylinder of the next partition depending on how you look at the data? The kernel does make a safe choice here, so troubles are limited to boot warnings. Fritz is busy double-checking, but to me it sounds like a classic off-by-one.
