For the most part, yes. TSRs may not work right, the floppy access
light may stay on all the time, and other "glitches" may show up because
by the time the boot: prompt shows up, the kernal has done *some*
hardware initialization and changed *some* low memory locations.
One of the reasons Microport suggested staying away from fdisk was the
number of problems we had in Support with dumb users deleting their Unix
partition and then calling us up and making us clean up after them...
