Subject: Proposed update of the i386 boot document

I have noticed that a few items in the i386 boot document have become a
bit incoherent and/or dated over the years.  Attached is an attempt at
rewriting a few of the sections; the main things is a field-by-field
description for the setup header.

I would appreciate comments as to if this makes it easier to follow or not.
