The question is when are these actually used and for what purpose. Does LILO actually make the BIOS calls to the BIOS to boot Linux, or to determine the geometry. Or, does LILO itself replace the BIOS calls with its own. On 3 Sep 2002 at 20:40, Anders Johansson wrote:
If that's true then my assembly knowledge is rustier than I thought. The .S files in the lilo sources are completely littered with calls to various sub-functions to inx 0x13 and a few calls to int 0x14. As far as I know those are BIOS calls (indeed, the comments in the source say they are as well)
