Duh. Thanks, I fixed it. Some other problems remain, like BIOSs not
correctly returning the total number of sectors through an extended
int13 call, but hopefully I can work around that. I'll probably
update the code later today, so perhaps people who have been so
kind to test the code so far, can try again after the new code
is available.
