Anyway to query the bios to find where the cursor is located on boot?
I'm trying to get it to print text without having to clear the screen basically.

int 0x10
ah = 3
bh = page number (default 0)
ret:
dh = row of cursor (from 0)
dl = column of cursor
ch = starting scan line of the cursor within the character block (0 is top line)
cl = ending scan line (max 7 for text or colour; 13 for mono)
p.s. In the future, please use
google before asking questions such as these
Cheers.
