I used google and I didn't find anything usable (for example I found FreeBIOS -> turned to linuxBIOS -> turned to CoreBoot and coreboot does not offer me what I look for). My questions are related to:

Setting up floppy, HDD and so on

Managing VGA video modes

Setting up environment for OS (for example interrupt vector table)

Loading and running bootloader
Does anybody know about some manual or code which describes these things?
boot?just put your boot code into the DEVICE first sector .And about how to write the code is to learn the "ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE"

I agree, it's an enormous task even for mainstream operating systems just to get a graphics card working to its full potential. There are too many closed/non-standard interfaces. Hardware manufacturers are too focused on writing the quickest driver they can and getting the Microsoft approved sticker slapped on it.
