OS From Scratch

Usage

Currently the directories contain boot sector programs written in x86 assembly. To run these,

  1. install qemu

    sudo apt-get install qemu	#or your distro's equivalent

alias qemu='qemu-system-i386'	#for ease of use

  2. install nasm

    sudo apt-get install nasm

  3. enter the directory of the program you want to run, compile it with nasm, and run it with qemu

    cd hello_world

nasm boot_sect_hello_world.asm -f bin -o boot_sect.bin	#compile

qemu boot_sect.bin						#run
