We've made this bootloader which prints "hello world" and it works! Now, we want to show the mouse cursor on the bootloader screen and we have already used int 33(mouse enabling interupt) in bootloader but it doesn't show the cursor! [we have not studied OS course yet.]

You can't useInt 33hMS mouse interrupts in a bootloader because those interrupts aren't available until DOS is running and it has installed the MS Mouse driver. You will effectively have to write your own mouse code and update the cursor yourself. This would involve replacing the mouse interrupt with your own, reading the PS/2 port for data, building up a mouse packet and then processing the coordinates in the packet and then place a cursor on the screen at that location.

As a beginner this requires a fair amount of knowledge to pull off. Understanding interrupts; how to hook the interrupts in real mode; accessing the PS/2 controller and PS/2 device (assuming PS/2 style mouse);how to update the video display to fake a mouse cursor etc. OSDev Wiki has information on working with the mouse: wiki.osdev.org/Mouse_Input . More info on working with the PS/2 controller can be found here: wiki.osdev.org/%228042%22_PS/2_Controller
