; disk booting routines
; these are only used during booting, they are not exposed via the jump table
; read disk 0 and attempt to figure out what type of disk it is, and load the correct binary into memory
; currently this only supports booting raw binaries
; inputs:
; r0: disk size (bytes)
; outputs:
; none (doesn't return)
start_boot_process:
; in the future, this will check the header for various different types of disk types
; but for now, just assume the user inserted a raw binary
; load it to 0x00000800 (immediately after the interrupt vectors) and jump
; r0 contains the size of the disk in bytes
; divide the size by 512 and add 1 to get the size in sectors
