>Description:
	Boot with bootfloppy-tiny (and -small) dies with disk read error 
	indication after a BIOS int 13h call with ah=2, al=16. 
>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to boot from a 1.2MB NetBSD 2.0 bootfloppy in an old 486-machine.
>Fix:
	Change the maximum number of boot sectors read in a single
	BIOS call to 15 (=sectors in a track).
