I don't know if this is the same issue as yours, but I've found that Caldera
OpenDOS's fdisk will renumber partitions w/o asking or telling you. This
really messed me up until I figured out what was going on. In linux's case,
all you need to do is boot from emergency floopy, run fdisk on each drive
just to see what the partitions are now called, and edit /etc/fstab (and
liloconfig and rerun lilo if needed) accordingly.
This was a huge disappointment for me regarding OpenDOS (and I assume now
for DRDOS as well), and I've avoided its fdisk like the plague ever since.
