Why don't they use INT 13h throughout boot?

Finding out what mapping was being used by INT 13h shouldn't be
a problem.  The boot code would ask the INT 13h code for this
and pass it to the kernel.

I would be satisfied, I suppose, if Unix vendors would make the
object code for their boot stuff available as part of the
kernel reconfiguration stuff, and document how to link in
a driver with the boot code.
