I only know my issues.  Ken pulled out boot1a.s so I assume that he had more issues than just mine.  

When I created a boot floppy, a setting in boot1a.S was not getting updated.  Apparently, the code was susposed to create the floppy image calculate the size update boot1a.S and recompile and write to the floppy.

If you can find a way to fix that on my systems, I would be happy enough to go back to boot1a.S.  However, I don't know what other issues existed in that implamentation.  Although I seem to remember that Ken mentioned that it depended on BIOS calls that may not be implemented everwhere.
