Hi everybody,

I'd like to make a new boot code. NASM is good 32 bits compiler I guessed.
However boot code should be in fixed size, 512 bytes. My code is just
about 200 bytes, so I used ''$'' to duplicate blank value. That is problem.
NASM gave me error message, ''stack overflow''. Stack overflow!! I'm so
wonder, what problem are? After changeed ''times'' operand from (512-$) to
constant value such as ''512'' or ''128'', it works fine. ''('' and
'')'' are problem, I guess.

How to correct this problem? is it bug?


[bits 16]

< ... boot code ... >

blank:
	times (512-$) db 0
