Remember the AT&T conventions of the operand-size suffix and the `src, dest'
ordering. This works:

ldsl farptr, %edi

assuming `farptr' is the address of the far pointer.

Sorry, I don't. 

The instructions are all the same ones TASM has, just written differently,
so you shouldn't need it. If you mean you know 8088 assembly and want to
learn 386, I don't know of any online references, but I'm sure they exist.
(Rumor has it NASM has an instruction reference...)
