Hello, I feel like making a bootloader which loads directly from the hard drive and not the floppy. Any examples or suggestions? Sincerely, Tim. |

Booting from a hard drive is literally 100% the same as booting from a floppy, unless you're reading past 8GB, in which case you need to use LBA. (Look up RBIL to learn how to use LBA). |
