On x86 you've got 20 address lines, this is 0-1mb.  What do you think the
space is reserved for from 640k-1024k?  ROMs.  When the system boots, it
will probe various address, in 2k blocks, from c800:0 to f400:0, looking
for a ROM.  So basically, stick your ROM anywhere in that range that isn't
otherwise used.
