You forgot to use the LBA-specific partition types. FreeDOS FDISK and
Linux FDISK support them.

This only holds for FAT16 partitions. Use FAT32 to get rid of the limit,
but do not forget to use FAT32 partition types. Just FORMATTING to FAT32
is not enough, the FDISK information should agree on the partition type.
