SYS 3.0 changes: added /L parameter to SYS to be able to change the kernel
boot segment + a few boot sector changes to get the pointer at the same
magic place for all boot sectors.

* boot.asm, boot32.asm, boot32lb.asm, sys.c: add metakern support:
sys looks for a file metakern.sys which is a multiple of 512.

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
