I assume you''re talking about a floppy, in which case you can try my page devoted to the topic. The BIOS disk loading calls are based on linux 0.0.1 source, I did the flat mode init code.
Boot code is written in NASM. The main program (kernel) is written in C.

Another thing, which might help you...

Bochs - x86 computer emulator

This would give you a nice place to test out an os on a generic x86 arch.
