Update of /cvsroot/src/sys/arch/i386/stand/lib
In directory netbsd1:/var/slash-tmp/cvs-serv551

Modified Files:
        biosmem.S 
Log Message:


In 16-bit mode, mov %ax,%bx is interpreted as mov %eax,%ebx; this
breaks zero-extension of the 16-bit memory size return from the BIOS.
on at least one system, the trash left in the upper half of %eax
causes the kernel to crash during VM system initialization when it
thinks it has on the order of 2**31 bytes of memory to play with.

We now *say* mov %eax,%ebx, but *mean* mov %ax,%bx..
