floppy access

Post by ~ »

i guess that you allready have a bootsector.
you should load the kernel by reading sectors from the floppy.
using the bios-functions is no problem, but using ports...
if you have code, successfully reading sectors using ports after bootup,
please post it. i have the documentation of the controller, in bochs, the code works, but the real floppy never reaches the seeked sector.
the sectors of the first track can be read.
please help.
