Mine is on 0x8b.  Following some sugestions I hacked my boot/loader to look 
specifically at 0x8b.... it didn't work.  I even went so far as to force
0x8b even though the autodetect did not work... it still didn't work.  I then
looked at the 1st stage boot loader as that *was* able to load boot/loader.
I noticed a huge difference between the 2, with a comment in the 1st stage
boot loader about a workarround for int 13h handling since not all bios's 
did it correctly.  I then looked at boot/loader and noticed it *only* did
int 13h handling.
