the ... is for telling GCC that extra aguments supported ( the %d's )

the va_...stuff is for getting what's in those ...'s ( the %d's cur_cursorX/Y )

the out stuff I tested I know it works...(It works better than the one on the OS faw...that had a bug but I fixed it.)

you can't load your kernel at more thatn 9000h in real mode.

So that won't work.

you can't use the bios and load the disk while in pmode ;)

Here is at tutorial....there is no tutorial...so you should just c/p my source ( I got that code from Linux 0.1...but reformatted the code to be easier )
