;   THE FOOL-BOOT-LOADER
;    
;   So we have just been loaded by the BIOS and are in 16-bits real mode!
;   Now the following work will bee accomplished (chronologically):
;
;   NOTE: this should not exceed 446 bytes 
;   (otherwise it does not work on my Acer Aspire)
;
;	* BOOT_DRIVE set 
;
;	* 52 sectors of our kernel loaded at KERNEL_OFFSET from floppy
;
;	* memory map made available at MEMMAP_OFFSET 
;	    (check at MEMMEP_SIZE_OFFSET for number of entries)
;
;	* the VESA mode specified by VESA_MODE_SELECT will be set up 
;	    (check at VESA_MODES, and VESA_MODE_INFO 
;	    for additional information)
;
;	* interrupts disabled
;
;	* 32-bit protected mode set up.
;
;	* esp set to 0x90000
;
;	* A20 gate opened 
;
;	* and finally we will jump into the C world to kernel_main() !
