I'm trying to debug a piece of MBR code, with some context switch in it. I have the asm layout set up by default with 16bit disassambled instructions.
My problem appears when I make a context to protected mode, in wich case the instructions in the asm window will go nuts / senseless (the processor will still run the correct instructions ofc).
I know about the set architecture i8086/i386 command. But they work only before I connect to the virtual machine. I can't change the architecture "on the fly".
Note: I'd like to make context switches back & forth, so I need to see the correct instructions.
All in all is it possible to switch the architecture & refresh the instructions in the asm windows? (with some strange command? strange workaroud?)
Okay, figured out myself at the end.
No magic is needed ...
The architecture needs to be set up first:
set arch i8086 / set arch i386 (...)
then the disassemble command should be used on a specific function/address range:
disassemble 0x7c00, +100
