fat32 - File systems and the boot parameter block: -
i read tutorial writing bootloader. author gave example of boot parameter block:
bootsector: ioem: .ascii "devos " # oem string isectsize: .word 0x200 # bytes per sector iclustsize: .byte 1 # sectors per cluster iressect: .word 1 # #of reserved sectors ifatcnt: .byte 2 # #of fat copies irootsize: .word 224 # size of root directory itotalsect: .word 2880 # total # of sectors if on 32 mb imedia: .byte 0xf0 # media descriptor ifatsize: .word 9 # size of each fat itracksect: .word 9 # sectors per track iheadcnt: .word 2 # number of read-write heads ihiddensect: .int 0 # number of hidden sectors isect32: .int 0 # # sectors on 32 mb ibootdrive: .byte 0 # holds drive boot sector came ireserved: .byte 0 # reserved, empty ibootsign: .byte 0x29 # extended boot sector signature ivolid: .ascii "seri" # disk serial acvolumelabel: .ascii "myvolume " # volume label acfstype: .ascii "fat16 " # file system type
if using fat32 file system can change last part (acfstype: ascii “fat16 “)
, use boot parameter block? if not can boot parameter block fat32?
