The thing I would do to speak against it is that because none of the other DOS
versions, including older versions of FreeDOS, will be able to use it. I do
know different versions of DOS do the ordering of the drive letters differently.
I think the best thing to do is try to automate it as much

I would only read kernel RAM directly if the kernel tells me the address, for

Alternatively, you could extract settings from the kernel file of the

of the drive letters FDISK assigns, I noted that the FreeDOS Kernel
actually supports different drive sorting algorithms via its
DLASortByDriveNo config setting. While it is unrelated to the bug, this
may impose a
