Mainly just the pain involved in either switching back to real mode or
finding a useful protected-mode entry point - which are problems solved for
LinuxBIOS anyway, aren't they?
I'm sure contributions will be welcome :)
Making RedBoot drive the DiskOnChip ought to be fairly simple, and would
also be quite nice.
