A new X86_64 bios and uefi bootloader.

Post by CodePoet2005 »

Hi all,

I have spend quite some time writing a bootloader for my yet to be built os.
In case anyone is in need of a bootloader, feel free to take a look.

I would describe my bootloader as
Simple but works.
Note that it still needs some fine-tuning and testing (i only have 3 machines to test at home).

Some features:
  • menu with multiple boot entries.
  • boot a linux kernel.
  • boot my custom boot protocol (described here).
  • uefi system partition boot.
  • bios boot partition using fat32 or fat16.
  • boot using cd.
  • set a bitmap image as menu background.
  • change menu colors.
Bug reports, feedback etc are highly appreciated.

The repo can be found on codeberg

Best regards,
