First, does someone have some code that I can use to write, or know of = how to write the OS to the disk? I can make a normal boot loader, etc, = but I'm not sure how to write this. Last, is there a virtual machine that will simulate the os, so I dno't = have to try to figure out how to build a reader into the os? I'm looking = for something that is command-line driven if possible. If not, just something that runs, and loads the OS, which will be = command line driven, without all the nice window functions and etc, it = could open in its own tty etc, just as long as it runs the os.
