Fixed a low-level bootloader for VirtualBox

Post Reply New Topic

Hey I written a small "Hello World" bootloader from this site (http://wiki.osdev.org/Babystep1) with NASM and I want to find out more about it. I'm trying to understand the low-level hardware instructions and system architecture, but still getting used to the new concepts. The forum also pointed me to the nand2tetris computer science course, so now I feel like I'm just taking a detour in my learning process. Does anybody here have any information or advice? I'm taking this seriously.

I like to stripe QEMUs virtual display controllers (just using this Optimus laptop), you can watch your bootloader snafus through the rasterization filters. Most recently I made use of that with RemixOS, based on Androidx86...
