Try MaRTE ( x86 ) http://marte.unican.es/
or
try RTEMS ( x86, Coldfire ) http://www.rtems.com/
These two OS system are classified as RTOS, with a number of device
drivers and have POSIX API profiles! And both are supported by the
GNAT Ada compiler.
Note: Both sites have documentation for their OS in English.
Also, both systems can be run under BOCHS. So you do not need to supply
a floppy or disk partitions to use them unless you want to. The BOCHS
system protect the hardware from software modifications or errors that
might damage the computer. And it halts the concept of rebooting to switch
OS until your ready for a test drive.
For BOCHS: http://bochs.sourceforge.net/
As for Toy_Lovelace well the project web sites has yet to include any
files or links to files. So to me, the project is still in its initialization
stages.
