Hi, Steve reports that while things were fine in kernels 2030 ... 2033 (both with and without FAT32 support), kernel 2034 WITH FAT32 support and all 2035 kernels fail to read the (fd) config sys file when booting from floppy. Probably something wrong with BPB initialization, but even then, shouldn't the kernel detect and fix the problem BEFORE giving up??
Note that this happens with boring 1.44 MB floppy. With the 360k boot floppy image on the CD or with 1.68 MB oversize floppy format, things are probably even worse. It would be really useful to be able to boot from ALL sizes of floppy WITHOUT involuntarily skipping config sys (the FreeCOM shell has no problems reading files later...). PS: I could reproduce the "COPY vs DJ mechanism" problem in another way --> "copy /b a:part1 + b:part2 c:\archive.tgz" seems to ask me to change disks for every sector or something, but it SHOULD not touch the b: drive at all until all of part1 has been read!? PPS: Very interesting question is why for 2034 only the FAT32 kernel hurts.
