There are some new commands:
- `global` exports a label (makes it public). As `start` will be the entry point of our kernel, it needs to be public.
- `BITS 32` specifies that the following lines are 32-bit instructions. It's needed because the CPU is still in [Protected mode] when GRUB starts our kernel. When we switch to [Long mode] in the [next post] we can use `BITS 64` (64-bit instructions).

- the `mov dword` instruction moves the 32bit constant `0x2f4f2f4b` to the memory at address `b8000` (it writes `OK` to the screen, an explanation follows in the [next post])
- `hlt` is the halt instruction and causes the CPU to stop
