Problem after converting FDisk Partitions to LVM

Does the conversion (or what exactly it is called) of existing W4 FDisk partitions through LVM depend on a specific fix level on them or is it supposed to be successful on fresh vintage W4.0 installations as well?

For evaluation purposes I had created a few partitions with Warp4.0 and FDISK 14.082 on an empty test HDD and installed 3 instances of unfixed W4.0 on it. One in a primary, the other 2 in an extended partition still smaller than 8032MB.
Then I added eCS2.0b3 to the extended one beyond the 8032MB limit, which offered to modify the existing W4.0 partitions to be usable with the LVM boot manager instead.

Now when I try to boot any of those W4.0 partitions, rather than seeing the white boot blob of that selected system, I only get to see a black screen with a blinking under score and that's it.

So first question:
- does the replacement of FDisk through LVM depend on a certain fix level on those existing FDisk W4 installations.

- if not, how can I recreate the partition boot sector of those W4.0 partitions?
