# mbr-loader
This project is a simple **legacy MBR BIOS bootloader**. It consists of a boot sector program written in assembly using NASM and a minimal kernel entry written in Rust. The bootloader follows the legacy Master Boot Record (MBR) format and can be run using QEMU for testing.
## Setup and Requirements
### Prerequisites
To compile and run the bootloader, you need the following tools installed:
1. **NASM**: The Netwide Assembler, used to assemble the bootloader code.
2. **QEMU**: A hardware emulator used to test the bootloader.
### Installation
To build and run mbr-loader, you need to have Rust installed. You can install Rust by following the instructions on the [official Rust website](https://www.rust-lang.org/).
1. Clone the repository:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/hannahfluch/mbr-loader.git
cd mbr-loader
```
2. Build the bootloader:
```sh
make all
```
3. Run the mbr-loader in QEMU:
```sh
make run
```
