Ops, sorry, too husty conlusion: BOOTFIX analyzes _default_ BPB, which
is _suggestion_ by OS for given media. Boot record should be compared with
"current BPB", which is used by OS for control of media.
Sorry for misleading you, late I prepare version, which will analyze
"current BPB" (and compare it with boot record).
About making FAT32 Zip diskette bootable:
1. get latest SYS version (comes with kernel, available at freedos.sf.net).
2. apply SYS to diskette (under latest kernel).
3. try to boot.
Also, there are more issue:
______________O\_/_________________________________\_/O______________
Reading default BPB...
Hidden sectors : 32
Sectors/track, heads : 32, 64
Reading boot sector...
Hidden sectors : 32
Sectors/track, heads : 63, 255

There may be some issues with "Hidden sectors" field, which used by boot
sector (installed by SYS) to find start of partition. Because Zip drive
mapped as hard disk, then Zip diskettes should be partitioned. Run FreeFDISK
and inform us about partition properties (address of start).
Also, to format diskette, try to use FORMAT from Eric Auer. Eric, how
to force FAT32 formatting in your FORMAT?
