Hi,
I want to code my own bootloader. Do I have to code the kernel in C and the bootloader in asm, and then link it to ONE file? Or is the bootloader a seperate file?

If you're still interested in making your own, check out John Fine's bootsectors:

The bootloader(auctally I think you mean bootsector) is a seperate file that is copied to the first sector of a floppy(under Windows with something like John Fine's PartCopy, under Linux with the
if commad).
