You're trying to disassemble 16-bit code as if it was 32-bit code. The
easiest way to disassemble is to have NASM installed on your machine and
just do:
ndisasm bzImage
My setup code rewrite creates an intermediate .elf file to retain
debugging information and make 16-bit disassembly
("objdump -d -m i8086") easier.
