Hello,

I am trying to write code that will be called by my own boot loader, and as
such, my code is based directly at the memory address of 1 MB. Everything
works fine, until I need to use a pointer -- if I do, I must first increment
it by 1 MB before using it, because all pointers are addressed relative to the
program's base.

The N part of the linker's /Binary:N switch seems to be the solution to what I
need, but the problem is that, before rebasing the executable, it first
*delete*s the first N bytes... and so it's not really usable, since it deletes
my code. Is that by design? And how can I re-base my binary executable
*without* deleting part of it?

Thank you!
