9a3da2b737 Version 2.7 luchezar, tomehlert, ericauer 2003/8/5
boot.asm modified to support non-512 byte sectors (e.g. 1.2 MB NEC diskettes)
  512 byte sector size check removed (although Eric's boot32ea.asm does require
    512-byte sectors, all LBA FAT32 volumes have 512-byte sectors anyway).
  boot.asm cleaned up and modified to support Metakern (by Tom, Eric and Lucho)
  bsDriveNumber updated by SYS even #ifndef STORE_BOOT_INFO (nothing in common)

Version 2.7beta, Luchezar Georgiev, 1 August 2003
  o  Now supports and includes the following new boot sectors:
       1) the combined CHS+LBA FAT12/FAT16 boot sector by Tom Ehlert (29 July)
       2) the CHS-only FAT32 boot sector -- as patched by Jon Gentle (08 July)
       3) the LBA-only FAT32 boot sector by Eric Auer and Jon Gentle (19 July)
  o  The old combined (CHS+LBA), no-CALCPARAMS, no-resizable, non-Ghostable,
     non-standard FAT32 boot sector and STORE_BOOT_INFO is no longer used.
  o  dump_sector() showed ASCII debug printout for the old sector only - fixed.
  o  Put a boot sector only if sector size = 512 (may it not be so in Japan?!).
     If non-512 byte sectors encountered, report to the fd-kernel mailing list.
  o  Now puts boot sector before copying kernel/shell so it works in WinNT now.
  o  check_space() now implemented at last (required significant modifications)
  o  New file system (FAT type) detection method according to a MS White Paper.
  o  Now BOOTONLY works even without a preceding boot sector image file name.
  o  Some minor code cleanups.

Bart: some cleanups to the above; replaced 386 code for CHS FAT32 by 8088 code.
use boot32lb.asm instead of boot32ea.asm
