Hi,
I have been exploring  lilo bootloader last days, and i have a question:
There is piece of code in file bootsect.S like this:
;       jmpi    go,INITSEG         ; this line is commented out
         push    es
         push    #go
         retf
i wonder if are there any benefits of replacing line
jmpi    go,INITSEG  ; which, i think is more readable
by
push    es
push    #go
retf
besides to make people confused?
