Does anybody have a code fragment to read the boot sector of a PC running Linux (Red Hat 6.2 if it matters)?
Linux by itself does not use a boot sector. It can be loaded by various boot loaders like LILO, grub or loadlin. While the latter one is a Dos executable, the former two contain their own boot sectors. You may want to look into their source code (C, of course) to find out more.
