>Environment:
3.0-981028-SNAP
>Description:
usr.sbin/mkdosfs/bootcode.asm attempts to set ds to 0x0040, but misses and
sets dx. oops. bootcode.asm will set a random segment's offset 0x72 to 0x1234.
>How-To-Repeat:
$ cvs co mkdosfs
$ cd mkdosfs
$ more bootcode.asm
At line 90 he source will read :
mov ax, *0x40 ; write 0x1234 to address 0x472 --
push ax ; tell the BIOS that this is a warm boot
pop dx
mov 0x72, *0x1234
jmpf 0xfff0,0xf000 ; jump to CPU initialization code
note the 'pop dx'. Oops
>Fix:
Apply this diff to usr.sbin/mkdosfs/bootcode.asm :
69c69
< pop dx
---
> pop ds
