So, if I understand correctly, I should simply replace freeldr.sys by
one out of a binary snapshot (if such a beast exists) next week and try

What about ROS installer displaying a totally wrong partition list (see

select the wrong partition by not checking that carefully (the extended
partitions did show up but the primary partition following the extended
did not)]
