Hello to group.
I was wondering if the following program is possible, and if you can,
tip would be really appreciated.
I kind of know the real basic stuff in asm.

What I'm trying to do is to get the harddisk information with asm
program.
The environment is Fedora Core 3 linux, with NASM and I have su access
to the machine. Harddisk is connected via IDE.

I did some google research and some website shows that following is how
you get the drive information from hd1:

Section .text
global _start
_start:
mov eax, 4
xor ebx, ebx
mov ebx, 1

mov ah, 08h
mov dl, 80h

But, how would I output this to terminal?
Any kind of input would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
