This code depends on %cs:%ip being 0:0x7c00 * * The initial chunk of instructions is used as a signature by external * tools (e.g. boot0cfg) which can manipulate the block itself. * * The area at offset 0x1b2 contains a magic string ('Drive '), also * used as a signature to detect the block, and some variables that can * be updated by boot0cfg (and optionally written back to the disk). * These variables control the operation of the bootloader itself, * e.g. which partitions to enable, the timeout, the use of LBA * (called 'packet') or CHS mode, whether to force a drive number, * and whether to write back the user's selection back to disk. * * As in every Master Boot Record, the partition table is at 0x1be, * made of four 16-byte entries each containing: * * OFF SIZE DESCRIPTION * 0 1 status (0x80: bootable, 0: non bootable) * 1 3 start sector CHS * 8:head, 6:sector, 2:cyl bit 9..8, 8:cyl bit 7..0 * 4 1 partition type * 5 3 end sector CHS * 8 4 LBA of first sector * 12 4 partition size in sectors * * and followed by the two bytes 0x55, 0xAA (MBR signature). */ /* * BOOT BLOCK OPERATION * * On entry, the registers contain the following values: * * %cs:%ip 0:0x7c00 * %dl drive number (0x80, 0x81, ... ) * %si pointer to the partition table from which we were loaded. * Some boot code (e.g. syslinux) use this info to relocate * themselves, so we want to pass a valid one to the next stage. * NOTE: the use of %si is not a standard. * * This boot block first relocates itself at a different address (0:0x600), * to free the space at 0:0x7c00 for the next stage boot block. * * It then initializes some memory at 0:0x800 and above (pointed by %bp) * to store the original drive number (%dl) passed to us, and to construct a * fake partition entry. The latter is used by the disk I/O routine and, * in some cases, passed in %si to the next stage boot code. * * The variables at 0x1b2 are accessed as negative offsets from %bp. * * After the relocation, the code scans the partition table printing * out enabled partition or disks, and waits for user input. * * When a partition is selected, or a timeout expires, the currently * selected partition is used to load the next stage boot code, * %dl and %si are set appropriately as when we were called, and * control is transferred to the newly loaded code at 0:0x7c00. */ /* * CONSTANTS * * NHRDRV is the address in segment 0 where the BIOS writes the * total number of hard disks in the system. * LOAD is the original load address and cannot be changed. * ORIGIN is the relocation address. If you change it, you also need * to change the value passed to the linker in the Makefile * PRT_OFF is the location of the partition table (from the MBR standard). * B0_OFF is the location of the data area, known to boot0cfg so * it cannot be changed.
