     Yes, this is valid message: you may see, that for "current BPB" bootfix
gives warning about nonzero rootEntries field - because this field, current
BPB differs from both default BPB and boot record. In given case this is
unimportant, though, strange FreeDOS "feature". I hope, Bart explains this.

     Interesting, that "current BPB" is returned, but disk access isn't
allowed.

     All valid, except (unimportant) thing that kernel returns nonzero
rootEntries field.

serial# fields and boot code.
