Read File on Floppy

That's exactly what I did for the IDT, GDT, ISR, IRQ, PIC, and PIT... I think most people do all that in their loaders, but as for me using BIN for the loader I force myself to do this stuff in the Kernel. It may sound "unconventional" perhaps; yet, after all it really doesn't suck that bad. It only sucks when you have to start hacking to make it work.

Does anyone have an example of reading sectors in floppy using C/C++ (with inline asm I guess)?

Thanks!
