I read on some places which the CS is set F000 and EIP FFF0, soin other websites I had seen CS is FFF0, in other 000F , causing some confusion with me.
CPU starts with last 16 byte of address space. On a 386 or later it's FFFFFFF:0000?? Anyway that does not really matter since the code there is a simple long jump (jmp seg:off).
Even i386+ CPUs come up in 16bit mode, so it is F000:FFF0 (setting the 64k segment to F0000-FFFFF and having the entry point 16 bytes before the end of this segment
