scboot 0.0.1

Post by b.zaar »

Hi, I've written a new boot sector thats designed to be general purpose and can be used as both a MBR or disk boot sector.
Mostly written to improve my own boot loader and also to test whether this kind of boot sector was possible. It should work with most file systems and is planned as stage 1 to load the remaining boot loader.

It supports BPB data up to FAT32 and uses the 48 bit partition table as suggested here http://wiki.osdev.org/Partition_Table#. ... MBR_Format

The file compiles to both a 1.44MB floppy image and a 20MB hard drive image.

Instructions are included to customize it for a different disk image or to use with a different boot loader.
