>Description:
	There was a small discussion (*) on the hackers mailing list in november 2003
	where you deceided to use 0xf000:0xfff0 instead of 0xffff:0x0 in
	src/sys/boot/i386/btx/btx/btx.S (1.33) to jump to the reboot handler.

	For consistency you should use the same method in boot1.S.
	
	*) Subject: BTX loader reboot on Soekris comBIOS1.22 fails (patches for btx.s and loader/main.c enclosed)
