* stage1/stage1.S: Don't call INT 13, AH=48H, because it is
difficult to call this function with the workaround implemented
in the previous change due to the size limit of Stage 1.
(lba_mode) [NO_BUGGY_BIOS_IN_THE_WORLD]: Don't check the
geometry explicitly. This shouldn't be harmful, as INT 13,
AH=42H should take care of it, and if you cannot read Stage 2
even with LBA because of a geometry problem, you can never read
it.
* stage2/start.S (lba_mode) [NO_BUGGY_BIOS_IN_THE_WORLD]:
Likewise.

Reorganize the file `AUTHOR', according to the current status of copyright
...
assignments received by the FSF.
Jason Thomas was added.
Erich Stefan Boleyn was moved into those who assigned their copyrights.
Gordon Matzigkeit was moved into the others, because he still wasn't listed
in fencepost.gnu.org:/gd/gnuorg/copyright.list.
The remaining problem is that we haven't had copyright assignments of
VaX#8, Heiko Schroeder and Gordon Matzigkeit. As for the first two, Erich
is now trying to contact them by proxy. So I'm just waiting.
As for Gordon.... oh, what are you doing, Gordon?! Hurry up, please!
