From memory, so could be wrong, it wasn't compiled that way based on old use cases where the 8086 kernel was expected to be used on 286 and older cpus with small hard drives and/or where max compatibility with MS-DOS 5/6 is wanted (as it doesn't support FAT32) and the 386 compiled kernel for all other cases. Anyway, for the next release I will be sure to include both versions for the 8086 compatible kernel, but still only plan on FAT32 enabled for 386+ one. Jeremy
