- In the fat bootsector, don't clobber ax, it contains the number of first cluster of freeldr.sys and is used by the fathelper code. - Fix jump code in the fathelper code, like in the other bootsectors. - Now booting from fat partitions (looks like that's what sysreg does) works again. It's safe under the condition that the cluster size is at least 4352 bytes, which is true for harddisks of sizes bigger than 272MB. Booting from smaller fat disks, like floppy breaks when freeldr.sys gets fragmented, which should rarely happen. svn path=/trunk/; revision=48177
======================== ReactOS Version 0.3.x Updated Dec 16, 2006 ======================== 1. What is ReactOS? ReactOS is an Open Source effort to develop a quality operating system that is compatible with Windows NT applications and drivers. The ReactOS project, although currently focused on Windows XP/2003 drivers compatibility, is always keeping an eye toward compatibility with older version of Windows NT family ( NT 4.0, 2000 (NT 5.0)) and new Windows NT releases (Vista, etc). Applications (Win32 API) compatibility focus is Windows XP. More information is available at http://www.reactos.org/. 2. Building ReactOS See the INSTALL file for more details. 3. More information See the media\doc subdirectory for some sparse notes. 4. Who is responsible See the CREDITS file.
