In LASTDRIVE statement you should use only letter, without following

lastdrive=f

This is strange, because with wrong argument ("F:" instead "F")
statement should be ignored (my changes include rejecting any actions for
statements with wrong arguments).

Hm. This is question for Bart Oldeman, who implements fnodes logic.
Also, question to Lucho: is he includes patch from tom to kernel, which
available from his site? Probably, there is problem, which mentioned by tom
by tom and should be fixed by his patch (at least, here we also have
Critical Error handler).
