I started a new project. I intend to make a minimal linkable kernel for making bootable retro PC demos and games, amiga-style, bypassing operating systems completely and hacking to the metal.
The project just started, and this is the first test of my boot loader code; testing the ability to load and run a simple program from different media. Seems to work with floppy disks, USB sticks or CD-ROM booting. Of course the BIOS does the dirty job for me, but it's still cool to see.
