It looks like you are using Etherboot-3.1 from the prompt below. In that version, it didn't load to XMS. The ramdisk lives in XMS. This is fixed in the start16.S here: http://www.syd.dit.csiro.au/staff/ken/personal/etherboot/start16.S I'm working on 3.2 and I hope to get some testers on it soon. If you would like to be a tester, send me some email.
