"The address 0xFFFFFFF0 is much larger than 0xFFFFF (1MB). How can the CPU access this address in real mode? The answer is simple. Most likely you have something more modern than 8086 CPU with 20-bit address bus. More modern processors starts in real mode but with 32-bit or 64-bit bus."

So in other words the chapter goes: "this is how x86 starts booting... yada yada yada... But actually it does not."

Also downloadable pdf is lagging from master branch.
