Hi There,
Can anyone tell me why do we need to relocate the boot sector code from 0x7c00 to 0x90000 ?
I've seen several answers about this but none really satisfied me.
Do we need it so we wouldn't step on the BIOS memory areas ? If so, why cant we just "be carefull" while running bootsect.S and setup.S, the kernel code is any way loaded far from the BIOS memory area.
