You should first look in include/dpmi.h - in particular the functions:
__dpmi_set_descriptor (which does it all at once, and is faster, or)

__dpmi_set_segment_base_address
__dpmi_set_segment_limit
__dpmi_set_descriptor_access_rights  (3 different calls)

You might look at the DJGPP source - in particular stub.asm does a lot
of these type calls setting up DJGPP to run your image.
