If your machine has multiple systems (i.e. x86 or multilib) you may prefer to use the bootloader from those systems, such as grub. This patch updates bin86 to compile on x86_64: patch -Np1 -i ../&bin86-x86_64-patch; Compile the package: make Install the package: make PREFIX=/usr install Contents of Bin86 Installed programs as86, ld86, nm86, objdump86, size86 Short Descriptions as86 An 8086 assembler as86 ld86 A linker for the object files produced by as86 ld86 nm86 Symbolic link to objdump86 nm86 objdump86 A utility to examine and report on the output from as86 and ld86 objdump86 size86 Symbolic link to objdump86 size86
