If I remember correctly, FAT32 volumes must be at least 128 MB in size.
Where might I read up on that info?

Microsoft have stated that the minimum is even 256 MB (in http://www.microsoft.com/windows98/usingwindows/maintaining/articles/901Jan/Fat32.asp) but I remember that someone was trying to boot FreeDOS off a 64 MB FAT32 partition, which didn't work, but when he switched to a 128 MB partition, it worked. Unfortunately, I'm not good at searching old messages, so I was unable to find the exact message, and even don't know in which mailing list it was - sorry!


In any case, ZIP disks must be formatted with FAT16 and nothing else.
