Hi Jim,
To Jim: Are you sure you ran FDISK /XO on the Pocket386 system? If FDISK says it detects LBA there but the LBA loader from FreeDOS doesn't work that'd be quite the bug.
Definitely I'm seeing "W95B INT LBA FAT32" when running FDISK /xo on the Pocket386. I can't send photos to the email list, but I'll send an off-list email to you and Bernd with a photo.
Are you sure that this is not just what the PARTITION TABLE says? Is there a way to ask FDISK whether it detects BIOS LBA support? A bit weird, but maybe useful as a compatibility test: You could use SYS CONFIG to manipulate CHS/LBA mode flags in kernel binaries to force the kernel to use either CHS or LBA. Do both work on the Pocket386? If yes, then only the LBA boot sector has an issue, not LBA support of the Pocket386 in general. Maybe you have other ideas for testing. Note that it can render your install unbootable if you force the kernel to use a mode not properly supported by the BIOS, but I think you know how to repair such situations :-) I am sure we also have better tools to show what the BIOS says about CHS and LBA support and disk properties. Suggestions please!
