Boot loaders

Does anyone have a copy of a well commented
first stage bootloader? I have taken asm
classes in school but some parts of the boot
loaders I have studied still confuse me.
If you know of any good sources, could you post
me a link?

a bit.
Problems making boot diskette

I tried both the original and my own variation of
the fat12.asm and tried to write it to a disk using
the rawwrite linux utility. However, it couldn't find
my kernel. I have tried downloading other source codes
that supposedly write to specific sectors, but they all
don't work because of an external unreferenced _biosdisk
from bios.h
I would rather have some assembly code, but is there anything
else I am doing wrong?
Nevermind

OK.
If you were using FAT12.ASM, there was a bug in it. Find the line that says
%define SS_NAME "load.bin"
and change it to
%define SS_NAME "LOAD BIN"
(4 spaces between LOAD and BIN)
