Hi,
I want to call 'C' functions through my assembly language code at boot time.
But its not working.
;---------bootmz.asm
%define bootseg 0
%define bootoff 7C00h
%define loadoff 7E00h
ORG 7c00h ;Because BIOS loades the OS at
; address 0:7C00h so ORG 7C00h
; makes that the refrence to date
; are with the right offset (7c00h).
; CS = 0 / IP = 7C00h // SS = ? / SP = ?
; You are now at address 7c00.
jmp start ;Here we start the, BIOS gave us now the control.
