You're trying to do to much in your boot sector.
Since they are such a pain to debug I'd recommend
moving your A20 & PMode stuff to a dos com executable
and make the boot sectors only purpose to find and load
that file.
You may want to take a look at my unfinished tutorial at
http://www.osdev.org/developers/guide02/index.html
It talks a little bit aboi=ut debugging a boot sector.
