Is there something wrong with the near jump approach?
I will attempt to pull freebios2 from cvs. Sourceforge CVS seems not to work most of the time I try to use it. It would be nice to have CVS hosted somewhere reliable, maybe BerliOS.
Is freebios2 booting yet on any platforms?

The code in the freebios2:src/cpu/i386/reset16.inc should avoid this problem, but oit does not generate a far jump only a near jump.
The problem binutils does not do a good job of supporting 16bit offsets. If you would like to pull the code back and generate a patch for the freebios1 tree it would be appreciated.
