a great tool for system near stuff is the intlist by ralph brown:
http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/user/ralf/pub/WWW/files.html

here you can find a HTMLized version:

and here stuff specific to your question. don't let it irritate you, the
BIOS does the same on power on and INT 19 except for some more init on
power on that does not affect the boot strapping:
