so yeah, iv tryed TONS of boot loaders through Virtual Box. iv gotten the kext boot loader to work once then it didnt get anywhere after that i dont remember wich one was probobly an EFI EMPIRE AMD one anyways, I wanna know what boot loaders are available as open source, AND if there are any tutorials on what any of it means, where i can start to learn how to write a boot loader based off of ones that are already open source, (im pretty sure their all open source or at least thats what iv read who knows) but yeah anyways, i want info on how to make a boot loader...
SPECKS:
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T 3.2GHz
PCI Express Galaxy GeForce GT 430
Gigabyte 880GM-D2H AM3 CPU Ready
Uh, cant find the box for my DVD+RW system info from win7 says under Name: ATAPI iHAS424 B ATA Device
basicly just want basic information on what i want to accomplish and where to go from there.
