Description
Hi!
I cannot get my test code to boot on virtual box. Just following message is displayed:
Booting (First stage)...
No support for int13h extensions
I assume this does not even go to the point where my code would matter?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the first-stage floppy-image boot in VirtualBox 7.0.2 and capture the conditions that produce “No support for int13h extensions.” Read the bootloader’s first-stage handling and compare the failing setup with a working boot path; done means the cause and a verifiable fix or compatibility limitation are documented.
