DH boot mode flags:


DH = b X X X 1 X 1 0 0 = MINIFSD | MICROFSD


DL drive number for the boot disk. This parameter is ignored if either the NOVOLIO or MINIFSD bits are zero.
DL = b 10000000 = 0x80


DS:SI is a pointer to the BOOT Media's BPB. This parameter is ignored if either the NOVOLIO or MINIFSD bits are zero.
8800:000B (0x8800B)


ES:DI is a pointer to a filetable structure.
8800:124A (0x8924A)

The filetable structure has the following format:

struct FileTable {
	unsigned short ft_cfiles; /* # of entries in this table             */
	unsigned short ft_ldrseg; /* paragraph # where OS2LDR is loaded     */
	unsigned long  ft_ldrlen; /* length of OS2LDR in bytes              */
	unsigned short ft_museg;  /* paragraph # where microFSD is loaded   */
	unsigned long  ft_mulen;  /* length of microFSD in bytes            */
	unsigned short ft_mfsseg; /* paragraph # where miniFSD is loaded    */
	unsigned long  ft_mfslen; /* length of miniFSD in bytes             */
	unsigned short ft_ripseg; /* paragraph # where RIPL data is loaded  */
	unsigned long  ft_riplen; /* length of RIPL data in bytes           */

	/* The next four elements are 16:16 pointers to microFSD entry points     */
	unsigned short (far *ft_muOpen) (char far *pName, unsigned long far *pulFileSize);
	unsigned long (far *ft_muRead) (long loffseek, char far *pBuf, unsigned long cbBuf);
	unsigned long (far *ft_muClose)(void);
	unsigned long (far *ft_muTerminate)(void);
}


Bochs values:

The microFSD entry points interface is defined as follows:

mu_Open - is passed a far pointer to name of file to be opened and a far pointer to a ULONG to return the file's size. The returned value (in AX) indicates success(0) or failure(non-0).

mu_Read - is passed a seek offset, a far pointer to a data buffer, and the size of the data buffer. The returned value(in DX:AX) indicates the number of bytes actually read.

mu_Close - has no parameters and expects no return value. It is a signal to the micro-FSD that the loader is done reading the current file.

mu_Terminate - has no parameters and expects no return value. It is a signal to the micro-FSD that the loader has finished reading the boot drive.

The loader will call the micro-FSD in a Open-Read-Read-....-Read-Close sequence with each file read in from the boot drive.
