Hi! Some interesting detail from BTTR - makes me wonder
whether FreeDOS kernel, FORMAT, DOSFSCK or some subset
of the three are mistaken here. What does Microsoft say?
Regards, Eric
PS: You read that right. A DOS RAMDISK with > 32 GB size :-D

FreeDOS: if the info & backup sectors are -1 don't use 'em.
dosfsck: if the info & backup sectors are 0 don't use 'em.
Oh, goody. New version of rdrvsx32 with valid info & backup sectors. A
size < 100 is assumed gibibyte, otherwise mebibyte. You can also have a
drive bigger than 32GiB (that was previously an implicit limit, 64Ki FAT
sectors).
