## Known issues
### USB Boot
It doesn't boot the kernel from USB, as BIOS does not recognize USB as valid hard drive for int 13, only hard drives and floppies. Thus it loads sectors 2-65 from the hard drive. If this is written on a hard drive, it could work if DRIVE_ID is set correctly.
### Stack setup
As I don't quite get how segments work in real mode, there are most likely errors in the way I set up my stack. I'm going on a _it works on my qemu_ approach currently.
