Just about anything :))

The most common causes seem to be:
  * Loading the wrong track of the floppy
  * Jumping into a data segment
  * Not far jumping
  * Loading the GDT wrong

It is hard to say, it could be anything...

You should try bochsdbg, a low-level debugger in bochs:
  * Windows:         Right click .bxrc -> Debugger
  * Linux (RPM/DEB): bochsdbg -q
  * Linux (Source):  sudo sh -c '(cd /usr/local/src/bochs;
                                  mkdir dbg; cd dbg;
                                  ../configure --enable-debugger;
                                  make all;
                                  cp bochs /usr/local/bin/bochsdbg)'

(Do not try last one w/o understanding it first)
