Well I checked out my disassembled Zenith dos 3.3+ boot sector and it
used what every was passed in DL as the drive.  So the documentation
that Gordon W. Ross (gwr@linus.mitre.org) must be incorrect.  So I would
then think that the partition boot sector passes:
          DL = drive to read boot sector from
       DS:SI = pointer to partition table entry to boot

(I never believe documentation, the only true documentation is
 the program itself.)
