Second stage bootlaoder

[Nerd-Pit]

i am having problems getting it to copy onto a disk now i have used dd and partcopy and the error i get is can't write to offset 0. I got the code to compile for me now i jsut need to test it to see if i can get it to work

[jrfritz]

wow...a linux/windows user like me! I didn't know that would exist other than me!

Your floppy could be bad... ???

[jrfritz]

There is a way to avoid a floppy...use BOCHS 2.0 to boot your boot.bin file.

[Nerd-Pit]

I am a certified linux admin. But for my 3d animations and all i use windows

[jrfritz]

Wow...you know more linux than me!

I just know some terminal stuff like cat, cp, sh, bash, and a little more...other than that I use KDE...but anyway...BOCHS emulator 2.0 is good for booting your OS for testing...

[Nerd-Pit]

How would i go about using bochs to test. i have never used bochs yet it is new to me still.

[Nerd-Pit]

Well i got bochs to work for me . One more question now i can't get it to laod my second stage loader. I will post my code when i get my dev. machine back up and running.

You load sectors 1->whatever you need...like at first 10 sectors like 2->10....load PM/GDT stuff...and jump to the location you loaded your kernel to from sector 2.....using the BIOS...
