Yeah, I figured that's what you meant.  Thing is, I just don't
understand what it's doing well enough to know where to put these or
to understand what comes out if I do I think.

BTW, it struck me to boot up a DOS floppy image and write a system
with that to the other partition.  So now there's no reliance on
having gotten the fixboot command correctly or that it actually worked
correctly.  Same error as before.  I think I got fixboot right, so I
guess this isn't surprising.
