Does anyone know that the equivalent of the nasm code times 510-($-$$) is under as syntax?

I have no clue what you just asked there. Could you please rephrase?

i need the code for as that will fill up the end of my bootsector with empty data to make it 512 bytes long

I'm assuming you're making a boot record or a boot sector and you need the 55AAH signature at the end. Anyway, your code was correct, I'm not sure why you thought there was a different syntax.

yea that code works under nasm, but do you know what the equivalent is under gas? I converted my bootsector over and cant get it to work.

If you conclude your source code with it should be working. Btw. do you know directive? It lets you type assembler in more intel-ish style.

Might do the trick. Untested, though.

hint : dd , db , times etc are assembler directives .

But not for GNU assembler in either Intel or AT&T Syntax

oh wow, do you have a link with more information? i hate att syntax because of all the unnecessary symbols, but i am just using it because i plan to develop under linux with gcc and it will be easier to integrate things.

I dont think that Intel-syntax is widely used with gas, as nasm or yasm support this on unix. Therefore i also have no further documents about it. Basically everything is described in the documentation of GNU as, http://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/as/index.html. Everything else is revealed by google .
