Since it's text I would have started it at 0xB000 I think it was. That's where I believe the text mode on old XT/AT systems used to pull it from. It's been way too long since I've dealt with that for me to remember properly
Oh yeah. 0xB8000. (You'd use a segmented address of 0xB800:0000, but the "segment" part that would be in 16-byte "paragraphs", so the logical "flat" address was equivalent to 0xB8000).
