Multiboot table help

[Myles Watson]

Robert,

Is there anything specific that I need to know with respect to where
the Multiboot table ends up?  If you could give me memory ranges that
are acceptable, that would be great.  Should it be in the high tables
area as well?

Thanks,
Myles

You shouldn't rely on any specific location, the loader only garantees that
%ebx points to the MBI, see:
