chain.c: Don't bruteforce loops detecting fixed drives.

Previously chain module looped all possible fixed disks from 0x80 to
0xFF. It's prone to BIOS bugs, where BIOS can report nonexistent or
phantom drives at higher numbers. It's safer to use fixed disk count
value from 40:75 to limit such loops.
