05c7fdda18 In the event of a disk error, boot2 is expecting an error
code to be returned: give it one

c03b24b2d8 Damn, I thought I had committed this already, but it seems not.
Move the relocated boot1 and arg transfer space from 0x600/0x800 to
0x700/0x900.  In theory this should make no difference, apart from the fact
that Buslogic controllers happen to use a few bytes at 0x600 for some sort
of scratch space for it's int 0x13 hook (!!!), causing the machine to crash
badly when the boot2 code makes it's callbacks into boot1 for disk IO.

9888bdcd29 boot1: Eliminate EDD detection and optional use of disk packet
interface.  Do some general consistency fixes and space optimizations.
Use of some freed-up space to defend against possible BIOS misfeatures.

boot2: Revise disk read interface to provide for boot1 changes.  Free
up space for this.
