I don't think it's swapped. IMHO it's more like the count is to be a
16bit value but it's passed in as 32bit: count 0x00000008 -> count
0x0000 + buffer 0x0008 - or something along this line, I'd guess.

I've had a super quick look at the nfblock implementation and it's
surprisingly messing with C/H/S geometry so it might be related to that
as well. Will debug and see.
