2010-02-22 - Bootblock Development

Ok, change of tac for today ... using assembly to find and load a file from a FAT drive.  Should allow me to create kernel files and drop them onto a disk to be able to demonstrate on Bochs or a real machine, whilst also being able to take the same file and PXE boot it still.

Going to assume a file in the root directory with a known name that is within the reach of the BIOS functions

Wow, didn't realise how rusty I am on Assembly, four hours of development and I have fewer than 100 lines to show for it
