* stage1/stage1.S: Don't call INT 13, AH=48H, because it is
	difficult to call this function with the workaround implemented
	in the previous change due to the size limit of Stage 1.

	(lba_mode) [NO_BUGGY_BIOS_IN_THE_WORLD]: Don't check the
	geometry explicitly. This shouldn't be harmful, as INT 13,
	AH=42H should take care of it, and if you cannot read Stage 2
	even with LBA because of a geometry problem, you can never read
	it.

	* stage2/start.S (lba_mode) [NO_BUGGY_BIOS_IN_THE_WORLD]:
	Likewise.
