Hey,

I need a boot sector which can load a file named 'kernel.bin' from a FAT12 formatted disk.  This boot sector must be able to switch to protected mode and set up a GDT.  Where can I find it?

Thank you a lot for your kind help!

Hey, I was in the same situation not to long ago and here are a few links to some bootloaders ana Kernels I have used and are very satisfied with...
