I have a textbook for an OS class I took a couple of years back that contains complete source code for a small Unix-like PC-based OS. Chapter 13 goes into detail about the bootstrap process, with C code. The name of the book is "Operating System Design Volume I, The XINU Approach (PC Edition)" by Douglas Comer and Timothy Fossum. However, if you took this approach, you'd better have compiled your code with a compiler that doesn't look to any OS services to implement the Ada runtime. -- T.E.D.
