7.2 Boot Methods

7.2.1 Overview

Bootable CD's and DVD's shall have bootable images that follow one of the following media types.

a)No Emulation Boot

b)1.22MB Floppy

c)1.44MB Floppy

d)2.88MB Floppy

e)Hard Disk

Each of these formats has different requirements for booting. INT 13h FNs 00h through 3Fh shall operate in the emulated sector size of 512 bytes. Addressing for these functions shall be in 512 byte increments relative to the start of the emulated image. For example, if a boot image starts at sector 100 on a CD, INT 13h sectors zero through three would reside at sector 100 offset 0, 512, 1024, and 1536 bytes respectively on the CD.

7.2.2 Emulation Process

CD's and DVD's use a sector size that is 2KB. Floppy disks and hard drives commonly use a sector size of 512 bytes. In an emulated bootable CD or DVD environment, the system BIOS shall assign a device number to the bootable image. INT 13h FNs 00h through 3Fh shall continue to operate with a 512-byte sector size. The data
