# The simplest possible program: just an infinite loop.
# All is well if your computer clears screen and hangs without restarting.
# On an emulator the window may get bigger to accomodate the higher-resolution
# graphics mode.

# To convert to a disk image, first prepare a realistically sized disk image:
#   dd if=/dev/zero of=disk.img count=20160  # 512-byte sectors, so 10MB
# Load the program on the disk image:
#   cat baremetal/boot.hex baremetal/ex1.hex  |./bootstrap run apps/hex  > a.bin
#   dd if=a.bin of=disk.img conv=notrunc
# To run:
#   qemu-system-i386 disk.img
# Or:
#   bochs -f baremetal/boot.bochsrc  # boot.bochsrc loads disk.img

# main:  (address 0x9000)
e9 fb ff ff ff  # jump to main, hanging indefinitely
