Ok, a bit late (interrupt storm generated by device $WORK) but I just tested with a clean 7.2-RELEASE source tree. I too can report this regression in boot0 which now looks at the active flag in a MBR table entry instead of its own default partition byte when not choosing the partition by pressing 1 or 2 at the prompt. This is a regression. The boot0 source code appears to have had a complete overhaul between 7.1 and 7.2. As a workaround, use the 7.1 boot0 source (or even use 7.1 completely if you care about the anticipated eol of the release). I hope Luigi will have some time to look at the default drive delection algorithm again zome time soon. Regards, Paul Schenkeveld
