I think what you need is:

    jmp     $0x07C0, $start

Assuming that 0x07C0 is the segment and start is the offset.

If that doesn't work, you may need to use ljmp instead of jmp (it's
been a long time since I've thought about 16-bit assembly.)

$$ just refers to the start of the current section, so I think the
solution there is just to declare your own symbol at the top of the
section, and use that in place of $$.
