Greetings, Recently I became interested in researching and learning whatever I could about how a computer boots and what is involved. There are probably better places to get this information but since FreeBSD is my development environment of choice I thought I would start here.
I just have a few questions that if you could take a few minutes to answer you would make my day. Several of the sites I have visited on assembly say it isn't needed anymore. Is it still needed to write a bootstrap? Where is a good starting point to just read through some of the Kernel source? Where is the entry point? I'm on all x86 architecture. Are there any good references on the Internet or in printed form on the kernel and how it works, bootsraps or assembly language on FreeBSD? So far I have bookmarked the following sites, any others you have to add would be much appreciated: http://www.xs4all.nl/~smit/asm01001.htm http://www.r4k.net/mod/ http://www.geocities.com/mvea/bootstrap.htm Thank you, Ryan Sommers -- Ryan "leadZERO" Sommers Gamer's Impact President [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 1019590 AIM/MSN: leadZERO -= http://www.gamersimpact.com =- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
