IMO POST_DIE should not be 0xff to reduce confusion. That code, in most other BIOS vendors, is emitted when all is well and OS has begun booting. I am proposing reserving the range 0xE0-0xEF for unrecoverable errors. We already have POST_DEAD_CODE being 0xEE. Going along this line we should make POST_DIE 0xEF, possibly alternating with another code if more detail is to be provided.
