0x7C Initialize the hardware interrupt vectors from 08 to 0F and from
70h to 77H. Also set the interrupt vectors from 60h to 66H to
zero.

0x4B Initialize QuietBoot if it is installed. Enable both keyboard and
timer interrupts (IRQ0 and IRQ1). If your POST tasks require
interrupts off, preserve them with a PUSHF and CLI at the
beginning and a POPF at the end. If you change the PIC,
preserve the e

0x62 The amount of memory available. This test is dependent on the
processor, since the test will vary depending on the width of
memory (16 or 32 bits). This test will also use A20 as the skew
address to prevent corruption of the system memory.
