Here's some VERY well commented bootsector code

I have a website at
http://bloggins02.freeservers.com. ?I just put the website up and I'm handcoding the HTML in VI then uploading it so the site will get better, but incrementally ?;D
Anyway, there's a link to my bootsector code that I've been working on. ?I tried to write it like an article and annotate some of the problems I ran across. ?
I'm looking forward to any suggestions anyone has, but if you have them, please refrain from emailing me (unless you have a very specific question) and post them here so everyone can benefit.

Very good, I like how its simple to understand and well commented. The next time someone asks me how to program a bootstrap I will point them to your web site

Yeah because, you know, I have people ask me EVERY day. ?I'm really starting to get sick of it
Seriously though, it seems as though more and more people are becoming interested in how to write an operating system. ?But the topic is still somewhat of a black art. ?I'm amassing somewhat of a good collection of links that should all be in one place, but aren't. ?I'd like to start categorizing them so I can put them on my website. ?Tonight I think I'm going to start with TSSs and the like. ?I'd normally write an exception handler, but actually I've found that letting my "OS" crash VMWare with debugging turned on is a Good Thing, because it shows me the instruction that generated the exception, along with the error code. ?Not that I couldn't implement that myself, and not that I won't pretty soon, but hey, I'm lazy, hehe
Thank you for the compliment BTW
