-;* Abstract:
+;* bootsect.asm
+;*
+;* bootsect.asm is built as 16-bit binary file in 512 bytes and patched to disk/partition's
+;* first section - boot sector.
+;*
+;* The startup sequence for DUET disk boot sector is:
+;*
+;* 1, LegacyBios check 0xAA55 signature at boot sectore offset 0x1FE to judget
+;* whether disk/partition is bootable.
+;* 2, LegacyBios will load boot sector to 0x7c00 in real mode, pass BPB data and
+;* hand off control to 0x7c00 code.
+;* 3, boot sector code simply parse FAT format in boot disk and find EfiLdr binary file
+;* and EfiVar.bin if exists. For first boot, EfiVar.bin does not exist.
+;* 4, boot sector load the first sector of EfiLdr binary which is start.com to
+;* 0x2000:0x0000 address.
+;* 5, boot sector handoff control to 0x2000:0x0000 for start.com binary.
