Hmm, the error is actually "Disk error 0x9 (lba=0x10)". I think this is my fault. Error 9 is "data boundary error (attempted DMA across 64K boundary or >80h sectors)", so by changing the buffers to being static in revision 1.35 of boot2.c, I broke the guarantee that single transfers don't cross a 64k boundary, which is important for floppies :-( I'll fix this shortly.
