 ## Build Commands
 
-1. `cargo build --release -Zbuild-std=core --target x86-16bit.json -Zbuild-std-features=compiler-builtins-mem`
-2. `objcopy -I elf32-i386 -O binary target/x86-16bit/release/first_stage target/disk_image.bin
+1. `cargo build --profile=stage-1 -Zbuild-std=core --target ../../i386-code16-boot-sector.json -Zbuild-std-features=compiler-builtins-mem`
+2. `objcopy -I elf32-i386 -O binary ../../target/i386-code16-boot-sector/stage-1/bootloader-x86_64-bios-boot-sector ../../target/disk_image.img`
 
 To run in QEMU:
 
-- `qemu-system-x86_64 -drive format=raw,file=target/disk_image.bin`
+- `qemu-system-x86_64 -drive format=raw,file=../../target/disk_image.bin`
 
 To print the contents of the ELF file, e.g. for trying to bring the size down:
 
-- `objdump -xsdS -M i8086,intel target/x86-16bit/release/first_stage`
+- `objdump -xsdS -M i8086,intel ../../target/i386-code16-boot-sector/stage-1/bootloader-x86_64-bios-boot-sector`
