Richard,

Thanks for your help on ADLO. I tried to trace loader.s, and have 
following problems:
1.
Before
sti
jmp 0xFFFF:0x0000
I can print out something. But right after sti, I can not print out 
anything. So, I am not sure that the code really jumps to the power on 
entry point.

2. The first 16 bytes after 0xF0000 after shadowing are the same as 
rombios.bin. However, when I tried to print out more bytes, I can only 
get 16 output. What is the problem? My code is right after copy bios to 
0xF0000:

mov ax, #0x10
mov ds, ax
mov eax, #0xF0000
mov esi, eax

mov ecx, #0x30 ; loop counter
mov dx, #0x3f8 ; serial port

cld
str_loop: lodsb
out dx, al
loop str_loop

Thanks,

Simon
