I have done it once this way:
    1- using pqmagic I moved the partition upwards so that the begining
        of the drive is free
    2- using pqmagic (or something), I made a Fat16b primary partition 
        at the begining of the drive
    3- still with the windows partition active, I formated and SYS'ed the
        second partiton that apears as D:
    4- I can now use any Fdisk to change the active partition and boot from it.

There is a BUG in DR-DOS in the partion managing: the DR-DOS boot
partition has to be the first
