Assigning an address to an integer

Can I assign an address of a variable to the value of a standard integer?
Like so:
{
int a,d;
a=&d;
bdos(1,a,1);
}
This works, but gives me the following warning:
warning C4047: '=' : different levels of indirection
By doing:
{
int d;
bdos(1,&d,1);
}
also works (and as far as I'm concerned, equivalent), but gives me
the following two warnings:
warning C4047: 'argument' : different levels of indirection
warning C4024: 'bdos' : different types : parameter 2
The address should only contain the offset value (having the segment value
of the DS register), and should therefore be an integer, and should assign
to a declared integer. The is for PC's (Microsoft C 6.0), and I realize
that it is probably different from other machines.
I suppose I only wish to eliminate the warning messages, because my
programs function fine. Is there another way to achieve what I want
using pointers?
