Hi I am a newbie too and I faced this problem a few months back when I was trying to understand the process of booting. I got two articles from an IRC channel which helped me a lot. 1. http://en.skelix.org/skelixos/tutorial01.php 2. http://susam.in/articles/boot-sector-code.php Hope these articles help you too.
