Volume is 97Mb. Data starts at 1+188*2+512/16=409 sector. There is space for
(195016-409)/4=48651 data clusters. This is FAT16, so FAT size here should
be 190 sectors. Well... At least, not all clusters will be accessible (523,
to be precise, or 1046k).

     BTW, I mark this as error, but may be this is allowed situation (which
shouldn't cause troubles, even if all 188*512/2=48128 clusters already
filled and some program requires to create or expand file)? If this allowed,
then I may change status of this message to WARNING.

     Strange value (=-2236).

     Yes, something is wrong.

     Definitely something is wrong: instead boot sector we get garbage.
Probably, contents of some OS buffer. Under which OS you run BOOTFIX?
