Firstly, the two are not sharing a disk. I have two disks, and they get a
disk each. My DOS disk is the primary master, so that's where the BIOS looks.
Secondly, I'm using the OS-BS _beta_, which rights to a few sectors of
the disk other than the bootblock. I know which ones, but I _don't_ know
where disklabel would write. The whole point of my question is to ensure
that OS-BS really won't have anything to do with this. :)
