Yuo want to call the BIOS from protected mode?  That probably requires a
software interrupt.  By default in PMODE you can't access the BIOS at all. 
You need to set up an entry in the IDT to handle real mode vectors.  I
can't say any more about it, and I may be inaccurate in the above.  For
facts, check out 386P or some of the other DOS extenders on x2ftp.oulu.fi
(in /pub/msdos/programming).  Hope this helps. :)
