right i have two files

pkernel.bin kernel
pboot.bin bootloader

how do i use partcopy to put the bootloder on a floppy disk

[Pype.Clicker]

http://www.osdev.org/osfaq2/index.php/BabyStep1 will tell you how to do for the bootloader.

For your kernel, that'll depend on where the bootloader expects it, of course, and how long it is ...

[Warrior]

Of course if you format your floppy with a file system say fat12 and write the necessary functions to search for it you can copy it directly do the floppy.

copy pboot.bin+bkernel.bin osimage.img
partcopy osimage.img 0 IMAGE_SIZE_IN_HEX -f0
