how is it possible to detect which partition your bootloader

Post by lost »

well i'm rewriting my bootloader to support my
new filesystem, and i'm having the hardest time
detecting which partition is being loaded
i was under the impression that a pointer
remained at 0:si to the current entry but this
seems only to be true from a standard dos mbr
i was wondering how other boot loaders like lilo
booted operating systems classified as "other"
