HYBRID_MAGIC		= 0x7078c0fb
isolinux_hybrid_signature = 0x7c00+64
...
 cmpl	$HYBRID_MAGIC,(isolinux_hybrid_signature)
 jne	bad_signature
...
bad_signature:
 call	error
 .ascii	"isolinux.bin missing or corrupt.\r\n"
		

No. It looks for the value HYBRID_MAGIC at position
isolinux_hybrid_signature in memory.
