?! So this is just a stand-alone binary with an awkward loader then.
The real trick (and challenge) comes when you want to run your stuff on actual bare metal.
- jfrunyon 6y agoYeah... my biggest question is why it hasn't been tested on hardware. Dev doesn't own an x86? Also the author refers to the (raw/MBR-format) disk image twice as an "iso" which makes me shudder.
- fuzzfactor 6y agoIf there was a floppy-based IMG file I would try it right out on bare metal.
- Hnrobert42 6y agoI don’t understand your point? Are you trying to argue that OP didn’t work on a hard enough challenge to make you happy?
- ganafagol 6y agoI'm arguing that OP did not build an OS. They built a program that needs a quite heavyweight runtime and loader in form of a system emulator.
