   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.
