DOSFSCK does not run on XT computers.  In paticular the XT disk controler
does not have a a Bios int 13h, function 0x15 implemented and if run
will print the following error messages:
     From function 0x15, Bios Int 13h,
     This drive has 0 sectors and a capacity of 0 bytes.
     ...
     Illegal sector # requested ( > max )

I got around this by changing statement 152 of diskio.c from:
  else size = 0L;
to:
  else size = max_cyl * sector * determined_heads;
