Hello Arkady,

>      Eric offers:

-  memcpy(bs->>OemName, "FreeDOS ", 8);
+  memcpy(bs->>OemName, "FRDOS4.1", 8);
> Otherwise, Win9x/.. will sometimes ignore boot sector BPB (yuck!).
> Value must be 5 uppercase letters, a digit (4 or 5), a dot, then a digit.

> Is there any objection against this?

if all your mails would be like that, we could become friends:

mentions bug reason, provides a fix, and changes one line only.

my objection is, that we mimic dos 5.x (or better), and that it
doesn't hurt to include the reason for change.

so I offer

  memcpy(bs->OemName, "FRDOS5.1", 8); /* Win9x seems to require
                                         5 uppercase letters,
                                         digit(4 or 5) dot digit */
