I've uploaded a new file los0+grub.img, could you try this and tell me
what if anything goes wrong?

This bootloader uses some tricks for loading bigger kernels that
aren't guaranteed to work on all BIOSes. This loader is mostly there
because it allows easy booting with bochs. I don't think it's worth
the effort to debug this loader for every weird BIOS out there: Use
GRUB instead.

Or if you like, use the source and debug the bootloader so that it
works for your Toshiba, and submit a patch :-)
