Change Details

This corrects an issue introduced in b4cb3fe0e39a3, where a freshly allocated `DOS_FS` structure would not be initialized properly before use in `dos_open`. In case of FAT32 file systems, this would leave `fs->dirents` uninitialized and - depending on its content and due to checks in `parsedb` - prevent mounting the file system successfully. This particularily impacted the EFI loader, as it was sometimes not able to read files from a FAT32-formatted EFI partition, including LoaderEnv (`/efi/freebsd/loader.env`).
