It's printed very early on.  I think it's giving itself a real stack
later on. . .

I think I'm going to have to get it all working.  My computer at home
is pretty slow and it takes about a minute before Pistachio gets
started when its running under bochs.  That adds quite a lot of time
to the development edit-compile-test cycle!

I'll have a better play later on.  At the moment I'm hacking up Johan
Rydberg's IDE code and attempting to access disks.  It's an *EVIL*
hack, but it's finding the controllers and attempting to probe disks
at the moment. . .
