Hi,

while hunting a FDISK  bug reported to me on Github regarding the order of the drive letters FDISK assigns, I noted that the FreeDOS Kernel actually supports different drive sorting algorithms via its DLASortByDriveNo config setting. While it is unrelated to the bug, this may impose a problem if the FreeDOS Kernel and FDISK disagree over the drive letters. For example, the user could be confused and delete the wrong drive.

Taking this under account I think it would make sense for FDISK to adapt to the Kernel setting, or does anything speak against it? Can I query the DLASortByDriveNo Kernel parameter at runtime? And if so, is there an intended way to do this?

Greetings, Bernd
