Int FE - At/xt286/ps50+ - Destroyed By Return From Protected Mode [B]
Note: the ROM BIOS uses 0030h:0100h as the initial stack on startup, which
is the last fourth of the interrupt vector table. If the processor
is returned to real mode via a hardware reset (the only possibility
on an 80286, though there are a number of ways of generating one),
then the BIOS startup code stacks three words on its scratch stack
before determining that a return to real mode has been requested.
As a result, INT FE and INT FF are corrupted.
