Actually, PC-Ditto will not access multiple partitions (just like most
flavors of MS/PC-DOS).  The reason is that since MS-DOS can't, neither will
PC-Ditto.  One can tell PC-Ditto which partition will be its first and
last.  I've now set it up to boot on another partition...

Now if we could only add some slots... :-)
