Problems booting with memdisk, with fix
...in the bootstrap, because it checks for an error
return from the 'Disk Reset' BIOS call - if it receives one it gives up,
assuming the system to be non-bootable.
This is likely to be a common problem for people booting completely
diskless terminals (at least with AMI BIOS) via memdisk, and quitre
possibly also terminals where the floppy is provided via USB.
The solution we've adopted is to pass the Disk Reset call on to the BIOS
via a call rather than a jump. This means we get control back afterwards,
and can zero out the error status before returning to the caller. It seems
unlikely...
