48 * This is the start of a standard BIOS Parameter Block (BPB). Most bootable
49 * FAT disks have this at the start of their MBR. While normal BIOS's will
50 * work fine without this section, IBM's El Torito emulation "fixes" up the
51 * BPB by writing into the memory copy of the MBR. Rather than have data
52 * written into our xread routine, we'll define a BPB to work around it.
53 * The data marked with (T) indicates a field required for a ThinkPad to
54 * recognize the disk and (W) indicates fields written from IBM BIOS code.
55 * The use of the BPB is based on what OpenBSD and NetBSD implemented in
56 * their boot code but the required fields were determined by trial and error.
58 * Note: If additional space is needed in boot1, one solution would be to
59 * move the "prompt" message data (below) to replace the OEM ID.

83 * Trampoline used by boot2 to call read to read data from the disk via
84 * the BIOS. Call with:
86 * %cx:%ax - long - LBA to read in
87 * %es:(%bx) - caddr_t - buffer to read data into
88 * %dl - byte - drive to read from
89 * %dh - byte - num sectors to read
92 xread: push %ss # Address
95 * Setup an EDD disk packet and pass it to read
101 push %es # Address of
102 push %bx # transfer buffer
103 xor %ax,%ax # Number of
104 movb %dh,%al # blocks to
106 push $0x10 # Size of packet
107 mov %sp,%bp # Packet pointer
108 callw read # Read from disk
109 lea 0x10(%bp),%sp # Clear stack
112 * Load the rest of boot2 and BTX up, copy the parts to the right locations,
113 * and start it all up.
117 * Setup the segment registers to flat addressing (segment 0) and setup the
118 * stack to end just below the start of our code.
120 main: cld # String ops inc
122 mov %cx,%es # Address
125 mov $start,%sp # stack
127 * Relocate ourself to MEM_REL. Since %cx == 0, the inc %ch sets
131 mov $MEM_REL,%di # Destination
132 incb %ch # Word count
136 * If we are on a hard drive, then load the MBR and look for the first
137 * FreeBSD slice. We use the fake partition entry below that points to
138 * the MBR when we call nread. The first pass looks for the first active
139 * FreeBSD slice. The second pass looks for the first non-active FreeBSD
140 * slice if the first one fails.

157 cmpb $0x1+PRT_NUM,%dh # In table?
162 * If we get here, we didn't find any FreeBSD slices at all, so print an
163 * error message and die.

168 * Floppies use partition 0 of drive 0.
170 main.4: xor %dx,%dx # Partition:drive
172 * Ok, we have a slice and drive in %dx now, so use that to locate and load
173 * boot2. %si references the start of the slice we are looking for, so go
174 * ahead and load up the first 16 sectors (boot1 + boot2) from that. When
175 * we read it in, we conveniently use 0x8cec as our transfer buffer. Thus,
176 * boot1 ends up at 0x8cec, and boot2 starts at 0x8cec + 0x200 = 0x8eec.
177 * The first part of boot2 is the disklabel, which is 0x114 bytes long.
178 * The second part is BTX, which is thus loaded into 0x9000, which is where
179 * it also runs from. The boot2.bin binary starts right after the end of
180 * BTX, so we have to figure out where the start of it is and then move the
181 * binary to 0xc000. Normally, BTX clients start at MEM_USR, or 0xa000, but
182 * when we use btxld to create boot2, we use an entry point of 0x2000. That
183 * entry point is relative to MEM_USR; thus boot2.bin starts at 0xc000.
