These kind of things can't be done with DJGPP. Because when your system boots,
there's no OS yet, no DPMI support which is required. So, I'm guessing that
you're not using DJGPP in which case this would be off-topic.

However, I had written a small bootstrap program some years back. I can dig it
out from my hard disk and send that to you if it helps. (Please mail in
