If the target must boot without BIOS support, a boot vector must be located using this command. It will usually be located at the end of the physical address space minus 16, the location all Intel 80x86 CPUs boot from.

Locate parameter Name is ignored. Parameters Align and Size must be at least 16 (Size's default is 16). Access should be SysRead.

If RTLoc finds that the application uses real-mode boot code, it will generate a 16-bit near jump to the boot code's entrypoint. This requires that the boot code and the boot vector are located within the same 64k segment. If the protected mode boot code Pmboot.exe is used, a 32-bit near jump is used.
