Even though my *current* OS progress is in real mode assmelber (no gcc cross compiler yet #-o), I'm on the goal of avoiding software interrupts as much as possible.

My idea is when you install the OS it should flash the ROM and put its own code in it. So UEFI and BIOS are redundant.

[EDIT]

Another 64kb might have been a big deal in the olden days. Writing a simple driver for a hard disk or CD drive isn't that difficult. A floppy drive, I admit, is one of the most temperamental pieces of hardware on the face of the planet.
