I think you need to look at the change floren and I worked up,
assuming I can get him to release it to you.

Our change is a bit less complex and adds fewer lines of code. You've
added an extra option to load a bios, and it will be somewhat limited
as those ever-demanding users continue to demand more and more :-)

What we did instead is let users specify the load address of the
kernel, and the IP from which to start. So our command line ends up
with --kernel being a seabios image, and using switches to set the
load address at e0000 and the initial IP at ffff0. Of course, now that
I know the memory is "reflected" to high memory too, the initial IP
could just as easily be fffffff0.

Anyway, John, can you give us a look at a patch please?
