As the other guy said, you need you DS (or some segment)  to be set. I only
know Intel syntax off the top of my head so bear with me:

  push es
  lea si, [bad_opcode]    ; or mov si, bad_opcode
  xor ax,ax
  mov es, ax
  mov es:[6*4], si
  mov es:[6*4+2], cs
  pop es

Translate as appropriate.

Hope this helps,
