Maybe it's better that you learn a little more, before to code a Os Wink

To boot binary file as a .com file you can use following structure:

Code:

  org 8000h ; or other starting address
  jmp 0:@f
@@:
  hlt
  jmp short @b

To make binary file as a .com file in fasm you can use following structure:

Code:

  org 100h
  jmp 0:@f
  org 8005h ; or other starting address
@@:
  hlt
  jmp short @b

To boot .com file as a binary file you can use following structure:

Code:

  org 100h
  jmp 7F0h:@f ; 7F0h = (8000h-100h) shr 4
@@:
  hlt
  jmp short @b

To make .com file as a binary file in fasm you can use following structure:

Yes, it is. Just do it. Or you can use some existing boot loader. I have shown to you how to make .com file that could be booted as a binary file. Just find that boot loader.

Correct loading address and file name within boot loader. Or rename file and correct loading address within it (8000h in my examples). Just all you need.
