This is a bit confusing but it sounds like a problem with the way that our FAT32 boot sector uses LBA. So with the new SYS 3.6e, you should be able to boot with /FORCE:CHS (explicitly selecting the CHS FAT32 boot sector: SYS 2.6 does not even have a LBA version). This will probably work with various, including newer (and better) versions of the kernel.sys file: In earlier tests, you mentioned that using SYS CONFIG to require pure LBA or pure CHS mode from a kernel did not affect the ability of the kernel to use the drive.
