I am starting on a embedded Ada development project that will ultimately
run on a custom Intel CPU target board. The final target hardware will
not be available for a few months.  I am wondering if it is possible to
use a standard PC as a bare machine development platform until I get the
real target board.  Has anyone done this or know of any papers
describing how to boot a PC with a dedicated program (no operating
system)?
