based on your experience and mine, I'm going to guess it does. I think I've
always made 'a' the MSDOS partition. that way wince will see the superblock
from that, and think that it's good to go. 
it still sees it as the full size of the card, tho; but I've never done a
'newfs'  on the MSDOS section. as such, it *will* try to write over the FFS
partition if you put too much stuff on the FAT (MSDOS) partition, but
generally this seems to have been more harmful to the FAT partition than the
FFS partition. (I've gotten corrupted data a few times).
