Here is some assembler I picked up off the net a while ago. This can be
complied using debug < boot.asm.
----CUT HERE and save as BOOT.ASM----
a 100
jmp f000:fff0

r cx
5
n boot.com
w
q
---eof BOOT.ASM---

This is BOOT.COM uuencoded, long isn't it (5 bytes)
---cut---
begin 600 boot.com
%ZO#_`/``
`
end
---cut---
