FAT12

In my boot sectors BPB, how am I supposed to know what reasonable values are for things like BPB_SecPerClus or BPB_RsvdSecCnt? All I'm going to be using the file system for is my second stage and kernel.
Also, what do I need to read off the floppy and interpret to find my files? I understand there is a reserved region for the boot sector, a FAT region, a root directory region, and a data section. What has what in it (besides the obvious data section)? What format do the entries have?
I read the FAQ and some of the FAT spec but I'm kind of confused here...
