Almost entirely certain that you are wrong. Superficially checked both boot sectors in the MS-DOS 7.10 SYS.COM now (one's for FAT12 and FAT16, the other for FAT32) and they both load ds:si with a different pointer pretty early on without saving the previous value. Concluding that I am right and neither uses the partition table left in memory by the MBR code.
