Hi,
I've created a boot-sector which works just fine when loaded
directly from BIOS, but doesn't work when loaded by ipxe:
0: b8 ad de mov ax,0xdead
3: a3 10 7c mov ds:0x7c10,ax
0xdead is not written to 0000:7c10.
The reason is that BIOS have data segment register initialized to
zero, while ipxe leaves it dirty before the jump to boot sector
code.
After adding to boot sector some code to initialize DS register,
my code works well:
0: b8 00 00 mov ax,0x0
3: 8e d8 mov ds,ax
5: b8 ad de mov ax,0xdead
8: a3 10 7c mov ds:0x7c10,ax
Is such behaviour intentional, or it is a bug?
Who is responsible for segment registers initialization?
Thanks,
--
Victor
