Much like [[GRUB]], BootProg aims at being a generic bootloader, running existing file format (where most custom bootloaders involve custom binary formats) and existing partition format (FAT12/FAT16). It is tested on both floppy and hard drive. |

BootProg
BootProg is a boot loader written by Alexei Frounze. BootProg is able to load COM/EXE programs from a FAT12/FAT16 floppy drive or hard drive.
BootProg is written in NASM and may be an interesting alternative for those who find GRUB bloated for their needs, or have a working environment where FAT/EXE is more comfortable than EXT2/ELF.
