Oops -- i have to amend my previous post, and it's too late to edit.

I should have said: FAT16 can only use a 2gb or less disk partition, and DOS 6.x is limited to FAT16. (But there may be other limits as well -- can't remember, as i haven't used 6.x in over 20 years!).

MS-DOS 7.1, IBM PC-DOS 7.1, and FreeDOS all support larger partitions using FAT32.
