Do you have a sample bootsector that does this? I would very much like to try booting it rather than writing a mock-up which may or may not exhibit the same behavior. .iso, floppy images greatly would help.

The very good news is that I should be able to tell you exactly why the exception occurs. My first thought was perhaps a GDT foul-up resulted in a read-only code segment, and mov %cs:(a000) was faulting or something like that, but this is a total stab in the dark.

The reported bug is that *reads* fail, while writes succeed. I can't think of any way you could manage that easily.
