Boot FAT32 kernel (ex. ke2041_86f32) from A: and "format b: /u", then an
error occurs.

A:>format b: /u
Insert new diskette for drive B:
Press ENTER when the right disk is in drive...
Using drive default: 1440k (Cyl=80 Head=2 Sec=18)
Please enter volume label (max. 11 chars):
No label, disk will have no creation timestamp.
Full Formatting (wiping all data)
100 percent completed.
Preparing FAT area...
Drive_IO(WRITE 1, count 1 ) [FAT12/16] [drive B*]

Critical error during DOS disk access
DOS driver error (hex): 01
Description: unknown unit for driver
Program terminated.
[Error 129]

Format uses INT26, and this error occurs in kernel.
When "dir b:" before format, then this error does not occur.
