I forgot to put a 0x17 in reg 0x76 after the mode set command. Sheesh. 

dram is now working fine. I am actually in protected mode in the 32-bit
openbios startup, getting ready to gunzip linux and jump to it. 

Now the trick is to figure out why I have no display :-)

All I want for now is a vga-compatible thing, very limited in scope. So I
want the absolute minimum hardware only. Any hints would be welcome.
