Write Your Own Operating System Tutorial(1) (轉)
Lesson 1: The Boot Sector
In this lesson we’ll learn about the contents of the boot sector so that we can learn to write our own boot program.
When the computer boots from a floppy, (Basic Input/Output System) reads the disk and loads the first sector into memory at address 0000:7C00. This first sector is called the DBoot Record (R). BIOS jumps to the address 0x7C00 and begins executing instructions there. It is these instructions (the “boot loader”) that will load the operating system (OS) into memory and begin the OS’s boot process.
The first thing to do is to take a look ins the Boot Record. The DOS utility DE is a widely available tool that can be used to view the contents of memory and disks. We’ll use DEBUG to look at a floppy disk’s Boot Record.
At a DOS (or ) command prompt type debug. This will leave you with just a hyphen as a prompt. If you enter letter ‘d’ as a command and press Enter, it will show you a portion of the contents of RAM. Ty the question mark as a command will give you a list of all the available commands in DEBUG. (Be very careful when using the DEBUG utility. This utility can be used to overwrite data on any disk drive, possibly causing loss of data.)
Place a freshly formatted disk in the A: drive. To load the Boot Record off your floppy disk, type the following command.
-l 0 0 0 1:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas--com::office" />
(The first character is the letter ‘l’, not the number ‘1’.) This command loads sectors off a disk into a portion of RAM. The 4 numbers after the ‘l’ represent in order, the beginning address where you want the data loaded, the drive number (0 for first floppy ), the first sector on the disk to load, and how many sectors to load. Typing this command will load the first sector of the floppy into memory starting at address 0.
Now that we have the Boot Record loaded into memory, we want to view its contents. Type the following command.
-d 0
What you see are 8 lines that represent the first 128 (0x80 in hex) bytes in the floppy’s Boot Record. The results (for my floppy disk) are the following.

At first glance, this doesn’t tell me much. I can see that it looks like this is a MS-DOS 5.0 disk with no name and a FAT12 file system. The numbers in the far left column show the memory addresses in RAM. The hexadecimal numbers in the middle show all the bytes in this portion of memory, and the column on the right shows the ASCII characters that the hex bytes represent (a period is shown if the byte does not translate to any visible character). Some of the bytes you see in this portion of the Boot Record are parts of instructions in the boot loader, and some of them hold information about the disk such as the number of bytes per sector, the number of sectors per track, etc…
Now it’s time to take a glance at the code for the boot loader. Type the following command.
-u 0
This performs an “unassemble” operation. This shows us the same bytes as before (starting with address 0), but this time DEBUG shows us the instructions that these bytes represent. The results for my floppy are the following.
0AF6:0000 EB3C JMP 003E
0AF6:0002 90 NOP
0AF6:0003 4D DEC BP
0AF6:0004 53 PUSH BX
0AF6:0005 44 INC SP
0AF6:0006 4F DEC DI
0AF6:0007 53 PUSH BX
0AF6:0008 352E30 XOR AX,302E
0AF6:000B 0002 ADD [BP+SI],AL
0AF6:000D 0101 ADD [BX+DI],AX
0AF6:000F 0002 ADD [BP+SI],AL
0AF6:0011 E000 LNZ 0013
0AF6:0013 40 INC AX
0AF6:0014 0BF0 OR SI,AX
0AF6:0016 0900 OR [BX+SI],AX
0AF6:0018 1200 ADC AL,[BX+SI]
0AF6:001A 0200 ADD AL,[BX+SI]
0AF6:001C 0000 ADD [BX+SI],AL
0AF6:001E 0000 ADD [BX+SI],AL
The first instruction says to jump to address 0x3E. The bytes after this are the data about the disk I mentioned before and do not really correspond to instructions, but DEBUG does its duty and tries to interpret them as such.
The first instruction jumps over this data to the boot program code that follows starting at address 0x3E. Let’s look at the instructions there. Type
-u 3E
Here you can see the beginning of the code that will load the DOS (or Windows) operating system. This code (for MS-DOS) looks on the disk for the files IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS. These files contain the code for the operating system. The boot loader code will load these files into memory and begin executing them. If the files are not found on the disk, then the boot loader will display the famous error message.
Invalid system disk
Disk I/O error
Replace the disk, and then press any key
This message can be seen if you look towards the end of the DOS Boot Record. You can see this on my floppy below.
-d 180

This shows the very end of the Boot Record. The Boot Record is exactly one sector (512 bytes) on the disk. If it is loaded into memory starting with address 0, then the last byte will be in address 0x1FF. If you look at the last two bytes of the Boot Record (0x1FE and 0x1FF), you will notice that they are 0x55 and 0xAA. The last two bytes of the Boot Record must be set to these values or else BIOS will not load the sector and begin executing it.
So, to recap, the DOS Boot Record starts with an instruction to jump over the data that follows that instruction. These 60 bytes of data starts at address 0x02 and ends on 0x3D, with the boot code resuming at 0x3E and going all the way to 0x1FD, which is followed by the two bytes, 0x55 and 0xAA. In the next lesson we will use this knowledge to start making our own book program.
