2aa51a1992 boot: move cluster list to 1FE0h:2200h (128 KiB file, up to /L 0x200)
1FE0h:2200h happens to be linear 22000h. Like the memory map
update to the FAT32 loaders for #127 this allows to load a
file of up to 128 KiB (rounded to cluster size) with an /L
parameter for SYS of up to 0x200.

3415ad93c9 boot32: fix very old bug, init high byte of fat_secshift
It turned out that this loader was severely broken for many years,
at least since 2012 (the git repo's creation). This variable was
read as a word to set cx for a loop, but only the low byte had
been written. The high byte happened to be 0EEh so cn_loop would
always zero out the FAT sector to read.

This _happened_ to work if the first root directory cluster and
all the kernel file clusters were all referenced in the first
sector of the FAT. Otherwise it would blow up.

2efe4ab9f4 boot: enable loading from file systems with 256 sectors per cluster
This should be Enhanced DR-DOS compatible.

oemboot.asm contains an optimisation to save 2 bytes,
by using mov instead of a lea with bp evaluating to
a constant value. This was needed to fit the addition
for 256 spc support. It is otherwise unrelated.

The LBA detection patch offsets in SYS have also been
updated to match the changed boot.asm offsets.

858934f152 boot, oemboot: fix to abort properly on file not found
Prior to this commit the first cluster specified from the last
compared directory entry would be used if the file is not found.
Fix the wrong (boot.asm) or missing (oemboot.asm) jump to the
error handler so that on file not found an error is displayed.

f267341281 oemboot: optimise FAT12 entry loading (picked from lDOS boot)
This way of clearing the upper 4 bits of even FAT entries
saves a byte compared to the prior way. (The next commit
needs one more byte than was previously left over.)

92ae538f1d boot: allow instsect to match the filesystem ID string
Reference: https://hg.ulukai.org/ecm/instsect/file/33218c729b43/instsect.asm#l1257

lDOS's instsect recently started to default to checking
the filesystem ID string in order to validate that the
boot sector loader to write matches the detected FS.
Using the /S=filename option or building instsect to
include the FreeDOS kernel's loaders would require use
of the /SN switch without this commit.

In addition, boot.asm and oemboot.asm are made to check
that exactly one of the ISFAT12 and ISFAT16 defs is
defined so as to select the FS. Prior to this commit
using both or neither def would silently result in a
broken loader.

977023f85c boot: fix Int10.0E expected not to alter al (SBC188)
Reference: https://www.bttr-software.de/forum/forum_entry.php?id=16934

The SBC188 video ROM-BIOS handling returns with al=0Ah (LF)
upon interrupt 10h function 0Eh calls that scroll the screen.
This made the FAT12 boot loader crash when booting FreeDOS
off a 1440 KiB diskette. While a fix is expected from their
side too, hardening the loader too is the right thing to do.

With the way this fix is implemented by this commit, it only
needs one additional byte for the loader. The error message
changes from "Error!." to just "Error!", other than
that the behaviour is the same.

The FAT32 loaders already used zero-terminated strings and
thus were not affected by the dependence.

d7a05ab6cd For GCC builds use GNU make instead of wmake throughout.
This eliminates all build-dependencies on Open Watcom.
