Alright, well, you know how each sector is 512 bytes, now, my kernel has passed the size of 512 bytes, and when I try to boot it, it doesn't work, I know I have to edit something in my boot sector, but I'm not sure what... Can anyone give me a suggestion?

I think you need two stage booting.
i.e. Stage one will load itself (one sector) and then will load the second stage (other sectors).
You can find lots of info about two stage boot loading in the wiki and in the OS development forum.
