Looks good!

An order of magnitude (or two!) less code complexity and less memory hungry than most of 2026's bloated Operating Systems...

My assumption on the reason that it requires 2M or more is all the memory mapped I/O devices in the first 1M of PC memory. They just wanted to avoid the whole page and set the origin at 2MB.
