    boot - Multiple changes to try to make cdboot work with more bioses
    
    * Go back to single sector read.  This seems to help gigabyte bioses
      (phenom x 6).  Multi-sector reads tend to cause reads to fail with
      a timeout for reasons unknown.
    
    * Enable interrupts on start.
    
    * (non operator) replace jcxz.  It's a bit unclear whether this is an
      issue or not but some assemblers do not generate the correct prefix
      for jcxz.
    
    * Report read timeouts and delay 1 second before retrying.  At the
      very least this allows timeouts to be reported distinctly.
