Bootable CD

Post by crazygray1 »

Clarification on how bootable cds work, tell me if I'm wrong

I have 2048 bytes for the bootloader
Beyond that I'm stuck, I want to have no emulation. Will my boot code be
any different when I have it on a cd-rom than when it is on a floppy.

Well now that I'm sane I successfully made a grub bootable ISO.

I quite that and once again decided to write my own bootloader, this time for booting with no emulation from a CD-ROM.
