lDOS's instsect recently started to default to checking
the filesystem ID string in order to validate that the
boot sector loader to write matches the detected FS.
Using the /S=filename option or building instsect to
include the FreeDOS kernel's loaders would require use
of the /SN switch without this commit.
In addition, boot.asm and oemboot.asm are made to check
that exactly one of the ISFAT12 and ISFAT16 defs is
defined so as to select the FS. Prior to this commit
using both or neither def would silently result in a
broken loader.

The SBC188 video ROM-BIOS handling returns with al=0Ah (LF)
upon interrupt 10h function 0Eh calls that scroll the screen.
This made the FAT12 boot loader crash when booting FreeDOS
off a 1440 KiB diskette. While a fix is expected from their
side too, hardening the loader too is the right thing to do.
With the way this fix is implemented by this commit, it only
needs one additional byte for the loader. The error message
changes from "Error!." to just "Error!", other than
that the behaviour is the same.
The FAT32 loaders already used zero-terminated strings and
thus were not affected by the dependence.
