The fatal error occurs whenever the program starts running on some part of RAM or ROM that it shouldn't. Anyway, it now runs a touch longer (about one second ;)) before a fatal error.
Hopefully, protected mode isn't needed for booting (and it has MS-DOS on ROM, so shouldn't be needed there either), so maybe one day it'll do something useful. Not that figuring out all the hardware that it does have and how it works won't be easy.
