I take it back. "Give up!" :)

Seriously, what I see in this code opens "/dev/mem" and memmaps it. Not 
suitable at all to load from a bootsector. We may be able to crib some 
"magic numbers" from it... maybe some "text"... Has Linux "done 
something" to put this stuff in "/dev/mem", or is it "just there" at 
bootup? I'll have to look into it further. Doesn't look encouraging, at 
first glance...

Best,
Frank
