That really doesn't make sense, though.  The VESA BIOS has to be entered 
in clean real mode; it's designed to be entered from reset, after all. 
There is definitely something fishy going on, but I don't think this 
particular aspect is it.

What's *really* odd is that this was required with the old code but 
doesn't work at all with the new code.  The former is understandable, 
the latter is not.
