This simplifies the code and saves around 18 bytes by not using segmentation. The relevant segment registers are all set to 0 and kept there (though the segment is changed in a few places for compatibility with the loaded programs), and ORG is used to make the bootloader location absolute.
This release has been tested with a couple of programs and seems to work without any problems.
Breaking Changes
- The CS/DS/ES registers will all be 0 after loading the second stage, whereas previously CS and DS would have been set to 0x7C0. Programs that relied on this will now need to set these registers themselves.
