      From: muta...@gmail.com              I have now made my bootloader huge memory model too.              Both for loading PDOS/86 and loading PDOS/386.              And I am no longer constrained to 58 sectors by the       7C00h location of the BPB. The bootloader relocates       that in the startup code.              Which is just as well, because switching to huge memory       model made my executable (actually, binary image),       about 32k in size.              I'm currently trying to get pdos.sys to be a flat binary so       that the bootloader doesn't need to have the logic in it       to interpret and relocate an executable.              BFN.
