 I've tried this. It doesn't help. I don't know why, but symptoms are
the same: after BIOS messages terminal (it is software one, of course)
clears, cursor moves chaotically without any real output, and this
behavior continues till I issue "Reset Terminal" command via terminal
program menu. After terminal reset all output (from loader, kernel and,
later, getty) shows normally.

 I've even dumped & disassembled new MBR code to be sure, that I
installed new version. Yep, it doesn't contain this call in the
beginning (after relocation).
