OK, so I was following the tutorial here, which worked fine, until it came to loading the kernel. Mike uses a Floppy driver to do this, so of course it won't work on my ISO. Anyone know how to get from bootloader to code in C? Most of the tutorials I found load the kernel at the 1MB mark (0x1000), however, my problem is that my bootloader is loading the code at the 8MB mark (0x800)  so if anyone has got ideas... handy...

You seem too confused to attempt this! 0x100000 is one meg 0x800000 is eight meg You need a CD-ROM boot loader. You place that in about block 22 in the ISO. Block 20 is something, 21 another thing, and I think about 22 is the boot loader. Here is my CD-ROM boot loader: http://www.losethos.com/code/BootCD.html My boot loader must be patched. That's done in here: http://www.losethos.com/code/InsBoot.html Here is my file which makes an ISO image: http://www.losethos.com/code/DiskCDDVD.html The operating system starts-up when the boot loader does a jmp. http://www.losethos.com/code/OSStartUp.html I think you're in over your head. |
