I have several machines, one with a plug-in first HDD.  All have C: as 
FAT16 holding DRDOS and W9X.  The rest is a single extended; D-G.

Three have System Commander booting Warp 4 from E:  One has SC booting 
eCs from E:  One has OS Selector - by Acronis - booting Warp 4 from E:

Boot Manager is not active.  It is just something to pay homage to 
during install and then get out of the way.

I don't know anything about your: INSTALLDRIVE=x
