FASM : simple bootloader source code with menu .

This is the source code with a boot menu and can be tested with qemu emulator.

I need to use the Sonet 3.5 artificial inteligence to search infos and make this source code better, but I learn assembly in the past.

The compile commands of the source code:

mythcat@localhost:~/fasm$ ./fasm.x64
flat assembler  version 1.73.32
...
mythcat@localhost:~/fasm$ ./fasm.x64 bootloader.asm bootloader.bin
flat assembler  version 1.73.32  (16384 kilobytes memory, x64)
2 passes, 512 bytes.

The test with qemu tool:

mythcat@localhost:~/fasm$ qemu-system-x86_64 -drive format=raw,file=bootloader.bin

Let's see the source code:
