Ok, a bit late (interrupt storm generated by device $WORK) but I just
tested with a clean 7.2-RELEASE source tree.  I too can report this
regression in boot0 which now looks at the active flag in a MBR table
entry instead of its own default partition byte when not choosing the
partition by pressing 1 or 2 at the prompt.  This is a regression.

The boot0 source code appears to have had a complete overhaul between
7.1 and 7.2.

As a workaround, use the 7.1 boot0 source (or even use 7.1 completely
if you care about the anticipated eol of the release).

I hope Luigi will have some time to look at the default drive delection
algorithm again zome time soon.
