It reads something different... I just wanted to make sure I was using
the right procedure...

Yes, I've gotten it to work farther along... It starts querying the
CD-ROM device for information... The problem right now is that the
c/h/s values that bochs/qemu returns when doing a diskinfo int13
extension check are all 0xFFFFFFFF... Same code on VMWare doesn't work
because it seems that VMWare doesn't support that EDD extensions on
their CD-ROM drive :(... I'll try it on my main PC today and let you
know.

I wanted to see if the procedure is right... :)

Thanks!
