What do you need/want to do?

You asked about making a floppy disk with a bootsector and DMIDecode on 
it. Not practical, although if you followed the steps Rod outlined, you 
could probably do it. If your goal is a "C Kernel", you'll need to do 
all this eventually, but running DMIDecode will be the last thing you 
do, not the first.

If your goal is to display some/all information "like DMIDecode", I 
think assembly would be easier. You asked about asm source for 
DMIDecode... gcc will provide that, but it depends on library routines 
that "aren't there" from boot. It would have to be modified a lot, to 
work from a bootsector. Might be something to start with...

As Rod suggested, might be a good question to ask on 
news:alt.os.development - there may be existing examples of how to do 
something like this,,,

Best,
Frank
