一、总体功能介绍
这是关于Linux-kernel-0.11中boot文件夹下bootsect.s源文件的说明，其中涉及到了一些基础知识可以参考这两篇文章。
bootsect.s 代码是磁盘引导块程序，存储在磁盘的第一个扇区中(0面0道1扇区)，在计算机上电Bios自检后，BIOS 会吧引导扇区代码bootsect加载到内存0x90000处开并运行。
bootsect代码主要完成以下几项工作：
-
加载从磁盘第二个扇区开始的4个扇区的内容（由setup.s编译而成）到内存紧接着bootsect后面的0x90200处。
-
利用BIOS中断 int 13h 获取磁盘参数表中当前启动引导盘的参数。
-
在屏幕上显示
"Loading system..."字符串。 -
把磁盘上setup模块后面的system模块加载到内存0x10000开始的地方。
-
确定根文件系统的设备号，若没有指定，则根据所保存的引导盘的每磁道扇区数判别出磁盘的类型和种类(1.2MB 或 1.44MB 软盘)，并将其设备号保存在root_dev（引导扇区的508地址出，即第一个扇区的第509个字节处）。
-
长跳转到setup程序开始处(0x90200)执行setup程序。
在磁盘上，引导块bootsect、setup模块和system模块的扇区位置和大小如下图所示：
二、代码注释
!
! SYS_SIZE is the number of clicks (16 bytes) to be loaded.
! 0x3000 is 0x30000 bytes = 196kB, more than enough for current
! versions of linux
! SYS_SIZE 是要加载的系统模块的长度，单位是节 1节 = 16字节， 0x3000 字节 = 196kB。
！这里定义了system模块长度，所以makefile中的规则就失效了
！
SYSSIZE = 0x3000
!
! bootsect.s (C) 1991 Linus Torvalds
!
! bootsect.s is loaded at 0x7c00 by the bios-startup routines, and moves
! iself out of the way to address 0x90000, and jumps there.
!
! It then loads \'setup\' directly after itself (0x90200), and the system
! at 0x10000, using BIOS interrupts.
!
! NOTE! currently system is at most 8*65536 bytes long. This should be no
! problem, even in the future. I want to keep it simple. This 512 kB
! kernel size should be enough, especially as this doesn\'t contain the
! buffer cache as in minix
!
! The loader has been made as simple as possible, and continuos
! read errors will result in a unbreakable loop. Reboot by hand. It
! loads pretty fast by getting whole sectors at a time whenever possible.
! .globl 或 .global 用于定义随后的标识符是外部的或全局的，并且即使不使用也强制引入。
! .text .data .bss 分别定义当前代码段、数据段和未初始化数据段。
.globl begtext, begdata, begbss, endtext, enddata, endbss !定义了6个全局标识符
.text !文本段
begtext:
.data !数据段
begdata:
.bss !未初始化数据段
begbss:
.text
SETUPLEN = 4 ! nr of setup-sectors setup程序的扇区(setup-sectors)值
BOOTSEG = 0x07c0 ! original address of boot-sector bootsect的原始值(是段地址)
INITSEG = 0x9000 ! we move boot here - out of the way 将bootsect移到这里
SETUPSEG = 0x9020 ! setup starts here setup程序从这里开始
SYSSEG = 0x1000 ! system loaded at 0x10000 (65536). system模块加载到0x10000(64KB)处
ENDSEG = SYSSEG + SYSSIZE ! where to stop loading 停止加载的段地址
! ROOT_DEV: 0x000 - same type of floppy as boot. 根文件系统设备与引导使用同样的软驱设备
! 0x301 - first partition on first drive etc 根文件系统设备在第一个硬盘的第一个分区上。
ROOT_DEV = 0x306
