NovaLDR (discontinued)

This is a basic bootloader using the PE format, compatible with MSVC++ that I coded in a few months. (I'm not good at x86 assembly.)
My friends @irql0 @nikitpad @NullExceptionTSB helped me a lot through this, I don't think I would've figured it out without them!

For now, this only boots to protected mode and loads a PE binary.
There is no filesystem support, and it loads a flat model GDT (Global Descriptor Table) with all 4 gigabytes of memory.

The PE loader included with the bootloader does not support relocations, so you must use a fixed base address.
To use it, change the incbin line in boot_stg2.asm to the path of your kernel binary, I used Visual Studio MSVC++ to compile the kernel.

To compile the bootloader, use NASM (Netwide Assembler) with the command line nasm boot.asm -o boot.bin.
To emulate it, you can use QEMU with the command line qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=boot.bin,format=raw -monitor stdio -no-reboot -no-shutdown.
You may add -accel hax as a parameter to enable Intel's hypervisor, HAXM (Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager).
