I copied Sector 0 to sector 6 and now fosfsck doen't not complain

Now HOW IS WORKING ON SYS ??? This should be reatively easy to fix, or
...
I have committed what I believe to be the fix for this, though I still
need to look into the FAT32 reserved sectors some more to make sure sys
does not need to do any other modifications. FYI the fix implemented:
just a check if FAT32 and if so also write the boot sector to the backup
sector (as indicated in BPB, which I also check and if is 0 is set to 6
to match the MS FAT highly suggested value).
There are a couple other minor changes to sys, I added an update option
so one can install a new (or simply change) a kernel & bootsector
without recopying the shell. [useful to me for testing kernels,
otherwise just a friendly way to refresh bootsector and copy kernel]
The other change is the compatible bootsector can now load MS DOS 7+
kernels (well at least from a floppy for me).
Note: sys version 3.6 is only available in the dev kernel cvs, once I do
some more testing of these changes it will be merged into stable. If
anyone has any issues with the updated bootsectors, file a bug please!
Thanks,
Jeremy
