My assembly code for printing string works on QEMU, but not on real hardwares

Question

I want to make an OS, but it works only in a way, Cosmos C# make me a bunch of errors for only an iso, where is the error here?

[bits 16]
[org 0x7c00]

start:
    mov si, msg
    call printer
    jmp $

printer:
    mov ah, 0x0E
.prntloop:
    lodsb
    or al,al
    jz .done
    int 10h
    jmp .prntloop
.done:
    ret

msg db "Hello World!", 0

times 510-($-$$) db 0
dw 0xaa55

I'm using NASM as a compiler. Thanks.

I've tried this on my real hardware, such as an laptop, the thing that happens when booted finally is that teleports cursor and then casually beeps

You need to initialize the 'DS' register. It is not required to initialize with a BPB (BIOS Parameter Block) with your code either on virtual machine or hardware. I noticed you originated the code to [ORG 0x7C00] I would still set your DS register, regardless, to 0x7C00 (segmented of course 0x07C0).
