As you mentioned on the freedos-devel mailing list:

> You don't need a real Book8088 for testing. 86Box "Xi8088" machine with XT-IDE(CHS=1006/16/63) can reproduce this bug.
I switched the "Machine" to Xi8088, "CPU type" NEC V20, "Speed" 16, "FPU" 8087, "Memory" 640 KiB. Now it boots my FreeDOS diskette at least!
