== Instruction ==

Build with nasm -f bin mbr.asm -o mbr

Run with qemu-system-x86_64 -boot a -fda mbr

Debug with qemu-system-x86_64 -boot a -fda mbr -s -S gdb target remote localhost:1234 layout asm b *0x7c00 c

== ASM reg ==

=== In 16 bits === There is 4 main 16bits reg: AX, BX, CX, DX. You can access the 8 MSB from AX with AH and the 8 LSB with AL.( BH,BL, CH, CL)

SI and DI are 16bits index register often used for pointer but can contains data.

SP is stack pointer, BP is base pointer

AX(AH, AL), BX(BH, BL), CX(CH, CL), DX(DH, DL), SI, DI, SP, BP

=== In 32bits === Main register are "Extended" to 32bits but 16bits of 8bits direct access is not possible anymore.

EAX, EBX, ECX, EDX, ESI, EDI, ESP, EBP

=== In 64bits === Prefixed by R RAX, RBX, RCX, RDX, RSI, RDI, RSP, RBP
