I'm trying to figure out how to patch the Bios Disk Parameter table to let
the INT 13h - Funtion 02h to read more than 9 sectors such as 18 sectors or
more.  I've read Linux's patch program but don't understand after the
"movsb" instruction and the reason for them.  One other thing is that the
use of registers are really chaos, no offense, but just very hard to
understand.
