the relationship between bootloader and real mode to protected mode? Recently, I have been studying the operating system, and then I have read several books, 30-day self-made operating system and the implementation of an operating system. In fact, I prefer the relevant knowledge at the bottom of the computer, and I also think that it would be nice if I could write some operating system kernels, but there have been many problems about operating system startup, such as the relationship between bootloader and real mode to protected mode. I wish I could understand a lot of these things. In fact, I have studied compilation, but I just can"t understand a lot of things. In theory, I think that in the 512 boot sector of the boot disk, why not just jump to the operating system kernel in this 512 sector? Why does it involve a lot of real mode, protected mode and bootloader, which makes me very confused, and I don"t understand the relationship between bootloader and real mode to protected mode? An operating system implements this book, which writes a lot of things from real mode to protected mode, but does not quite understand it, and the progress is very slow.
