FYI the following newsgroup is focussed on os development (including 
bootloaders).

  alt.os.development

There are some other potentially useful groups too.

  comp.lang.asm.x86
  alt.lang.asm
  alt.os.assembly

A lot of assumptions people make have been found to be wrong. The archives 
of alt.os.development hold a wealth of detailed info.
