; Nadir stage-1 boot sector.
;
; Runs in 16-bit real mode at 0x7C00 (Ring 0, CPL 0, BIOS hands us full
; privilege; privileged instructions used: cli, lgdt, mov cr0).
; Fault behavior: none possible here beyond a failed disk read, which prints
; an error and halts. There is no IDT yet, so any CPU exception would
; triple-fault and reset the machine.
;
; Job: enable A20, load the kernel image (LBA 1..N) to 0x10000, install a
; flat GDT, enter 32-bit protected mode and jump to the stage-2 entry.
;
; Memory map used by the whole boot chain:
; 0x007C00 this sector (512 bytes)
; 0x010000 kernel image (loaded here, linked here)
; 0x70000 PML4 | 0x71000 PDPT | 0x72000 PD (built by stage 2)
; 0x90000 stack top (real-mode stack grows down from 0x7C00 instead)
; 0xB8000 VGA text buffer
