There is a bug in FREEDOS label that does not write the LABEL
twice on the HD as it should. So it may happen that finddisk
does not work as expected.
Examples:
The actual FREEDOS live CD installs the label FREEDOS2025
finddisk +FREEDOS* Shows "ECHO Match on" and "C:" and goes to C:\
If "tdsk - Turbodisk" is installed:
finddisk turbodsk Will show NO match (case sensitive!)
finddisk TURBODSK Shows "ECHO Match on" and "F:" but stays at C:\
