would be better, of course, if grldr used the standard DS:SI, but it
doesn't, so oh well.

  GRLDR can be loaded at any address with alignment 16(i.e., a possible
  segment base address). Generally you want to load it at 0000:7C00, or at
  2000:0000. Of course you never load it at 0000:0000 or similar.

  Before jumping to the entry point at the very beginning of GRLDR, you
  should setup DL=(BIOS drive) and DH=(partition number). For partition
  numbers, 0 - 3 are primary, 4 - 0xFE are logical. (DH=0xFF) stands for
  whole drive(unpartitioned). DH will later be passed to
  install_partition(the third byte, from bit 16 to bit 23).

memdisk: "safe hook" and mBFT

Two additions to MEMDISK to support OS drivers.

The "safe hook" structure ("Safe Master Boot Record INT 13h Hook Routines")
is a means for an OS driver to follow a chain of INT 13h hooks, examining
the hooks' vendors and assuming responsibility for hook functionality along
the way.  For MEMDISK, we guarantee an additional field which holds the
physical address for the mBFT.

The mBFT is an ACPI table which an OS driver can scan for.  The mBFT
contains the official MEMDISK Info structure (MDI) which itself includes
parameters the OS will want to know about.  The mBFT points back at the
"safe hook" structure's physical address so that an OS supporting both
"safe hook" chain-walking as well as mBFT-scanning can know that both
refer to the same MEMDISK instance.
