Bug#582257: probing DOS devices doesn't work

[Harald Dunkel <harri@afaics.de>]

Both command.com and kernel.sys are there:

# ls -al /mnt/
total 1183
drwxr-xr-x  6 root root   16384 Jan  1  1970 .

Is it possible that there is a problem about the mount options
wrt upper and lower case characters? AFAIR the default for
mounting vfat partitions has been changed a few months ago.

If I create a file "11freedos" using

--- 10freedos   2010-02-11 00:06:57.000000000 +0100
+++ 11freedos   2010-05-19 21:49:15.000000000 +0200

   *) debug "$1 is not a FAT partition: exiting"; exit 1 ;;
 esac

-if [ -e "$2/kernel.sys" -a -e "$2/command.com" ]; then
+if [ -e "$2/KERNEL.SYS" -a -e "$2/COMMAND.COM" ]; then
   label="$(count_next_label FreeDOS)"
   result "$1:FreeDOS:$label:chain"
   exit 0

then it works.
