There are no partitions on floppies. Do you know of any BIOS that calls
removable media with partitions a drive < 0x80? If there isn't any then
this is purely theoretical.

If you use a block device driver or a redirector to address the
removeable media (instead of the BIOS) then it would be assigned to a
drive > B: (and DOS doesn't care how the partitions are organized).
