Start with DJGPP/NASM and my OSLoader.
OSLoader can boot from a disk (any MS FAT12/16 disk), setup PMode and run your
32-bit program made with DJGPP & NASM.

Take a look at my homepage.

I belive you could just modify a little OSLoader so that it load particular
binaryfile but not waite for its name from the keyboard.
