One of the members created a 'minimal' bootable floppy image back in January. It's not even up the the level you describe, and I don't know that anything has been done on it since (possibly because there's no one there showing interest in what the next small step should be). I've downloaded the sources, but have yet to get to looking into it. --Brian
