Or this is a well-known gdb deficit: if the bootloader operates in
real-mode, you have to set two breakpoints, one at the linear address to
make qemu catch it, and another one at the segment offset to avoid gdb
skipping the exit due to ip !=3D bp-addr.

gdb is still fairly restricted when it comes to system-level debugging,
specifically as it lacks support for special x86 registers and the
segmented addressing mode.
