That makes sense. It loads exactly like a floppy would, reads one sector to 0:7c00, jumps to it. I suppose that it has the IDE support code in there, in order to read the hard disk. It probably would not be difficult to provide a functionally-equivalent replacement for it.

:-) Maybe so, but not with that BIOS.
