I don't see how any OS can survive having such a hook (Int13) taken.  I
can see how to do Linux, or even one of the strict BSDs easily too.  I
suppose this is how the FBI or CIA can intercept just about any OS while
it's booting.  I can see several possible ways to detect such a hook,
but they're theoretical as all get out too.  So much for truecrypt et al
if this can be reliably done.
