! Bootblock 1.5 - Minix boot block. Author: Kees J. Bot
! 21 Dec 1991
!
! When the PC is powered on, it will try to read the first sector of floppy
! disk 0 at address 0x7C00. If this fails due to the absence of flexible
! magnetic media, it will read the master boot record from the first sector
! of the hard disk. This sector not only contains executable code, but also
! the partition table of the hard disk. When executed, it will select the
! active partition and load the first sector of that at address 0x7C00.
! This file contains the code that is eventually read from either the floppy
! disk, or the hard disk partition. It is just smart enough to load /boot
! from the boot device into memory at address 0x10000 and execute that. The
! disk addresses for /boot are patched into this code by installboot as 24-bit
! sector numbers and 8-bit sector counts above enddata upwards. /boot is in
! turn smart enough to load the different parts of the Minix kernel into
! memory and execute them to finally get Minix started.
