Ah.  Your BIOS has the same problem that mine does.  If you have *ANY* 
long file names (the so-called Win95 extension), then it goes off into 
the ozone and you have to reformat the drive (well, I suppose you
could boot NT and remove the long filenames).  For me, this is a small 
loss since I have only BSD on my dos file system (since i'm running
OpenBSD, that's the kernel name).
