Nice article! However, please ensure that you properly attribute the original author of some portions of your guide:

github.com/cfenollosa/os-tutorial/...

On the article you linked, there's some code from the same guide that I believe you copied from github.com/cfenollosa/os-tutorial/... too.

Correctly adding attribution helps highlight and credit the original authors whose work may have saved you time when writing this article. It also helps others to find references to the original article, as well. Thanks!

The link which you've posted on GitHub is a summary by cfenollosa of a book and not his code. The code I've written is a simple boot sector which is built on interrupts, something which you can find in various books, and is something basic.

Yes, I will reference the textbooks I am referring to in the upcoming post for further research.

I see! Didn't know that, my bad. I was just checking; attributions are quite important tbh. Good to hear that you'll add references to posts in the future 👍
