This seems like a re-inventing the wheel to me and as such strikes me as a pointless exercise. There are plenty of bootloaders that will live in the MBR that a BIOS can call - Grub, LILO, etc. and the whole CoreBOOT project whose aim is to replace commercial BIOS products. I would have thought effort would be better focussed on other architectures.
