Virgil Dupras 1a467efae1 pcat: use a far jump to boot into the OS
Unless I misunderstood, this is supposed to set CS. This would make
all SREG have the same value. This allows us to remove BIN( offset
from os.bin.

I've tried booting to offset 0, but it didn't seem to work. Let's
settle for 0x8000. 512kb of system RAM is way more than we need
anyways.

Virgil Dupras 07e50313c7 pcat: separate MBR code and OS code
MBR code now strictly loads OS code into memory and jumps into it.

Now, I've got to consolidate my assembler code, modrm logic is
messed up.
