You can. But you have to either:-
  • Write a protected mode floppy driver in the stage 2 loader which loads it directly to 1mb
  • Load it to below 1mb using the BIOS and then before jumping to the kernel copy it to the 1mb mark

another alternative is to set up *unreal mode*, load chunks under 1MB and then move chunks at their definitive location ... or (as Tim would have said) to use GRUB :p
