Hmm, there is an interesting question. If filesystem support is loaded
from CONFIG.SYS, and you want to have a 100% VFAT or even ext2fs
filesystem, how will DOS be able to read the filesystem to find
CONFIG.SYS so that it can load the file system driver that is required
to read things from the filesystem that CONFIG.SYS is held on....
