I don't think that the partition layout matters in this case.

The following works without problems:

boot: chain.c32 fs


I tested it a week ago also, and now I remember that the following also
didn't work:

boot: chain.c32 hd0,1 freedos=/kernel.sys
Loading the boot file...
Booting...
Chainboot failed!
boot:

The following works:
boot: chain.c32 hd0 freedos=/kernel.sys
boot: chain.c32 hd0,0 freedos=/kernel.sys
boot: chain.c32 boot freedos=/kernel.sys

If the hard disk image is BIOS drive 0x81, the following works:
boot: chain.c32 swap freedos=/kernel.sys

FreeDOS only uses the drive (and can only boot from drive 0x80, unless you
use 'swap' (= boots still from nex 0x80)) and not the partition info.
