Fix shift used for converting KiB to paragraphs
The old code was essentially a no-op due to x86 taking shifts mod 32. This lead DOS to believe that it had 10KiB of memory, which is not enough to contain io.sys, the DOS kernel, and command.com. This causes command.com to overwrite the DOS kernel when it goes to relocate itself at the end of the memory, leading to system crash.
