From bc96ad381f05668123ce6fe760ad3a370fbf35ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ziran Zhang Date: Sun, 12 Apr 2026 14:59:41 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] FAT: allow 0xE9 near jump in fat_read_static_bpb() fat_read_static_bpb() only accepts a short jump as a valid bootstrap code signature for DOS 1.x volumes when the dos1xfloppy mount option is used. However, according to the Microsoft fatgen103.doc, the BS_jmpBoot field has two allowed forms: 0xEB 0x?? 0x90 (short jump + NOP) and 0xE9 0x?? 0x?? (near jump). The specification explicitly states that either form is acceptable. This patch relaxes the check to also accept 0xE9 as the first byte of the jump instruction.
