Be sure to have your boot.bat like this:

loadros ntoskrnl.exe hal.dll ide.sys vfatfs.sys

Then, check to see if the problem is in loadros or in the kernel by inserting 
"for(;;);" as the first statement in main() in ke/main.c. If the computer 
reboots the problem is in loadros. If it just freezes with the blue screen, 
the problem is in the kernel somewhere.

If the computer reboots, do your ".break: jmp .break;" thing in loadros until 
you find the instruction that causes the reboot. That is, start by inserting 
the break code just before the code that calls main(). Then move the break 
code upwards to earlier executed code, until you reach the code that enters 
protected mode. You should by then have found the instruction that caused the 
reboot, since you stated earlier that the code before this did not cause a 
reboot.
