Ok, easy to fix.

Okay, fixed.

We would have to duplicate, replace, or skip large parts of
fat_fill_super(). This is why my initial approach was to just
fill in BPB values in the SB copy in memory. We read from BPB
over the course of 215 lines of code, ending here:

I will make an attempt at it.

Thanks,
