A cool toolkit is the Flux OSKIT stuff from University of Utah..

        www.cs.utah.edu/projects/flux/

The toolkit has all the pieces you need to get booted and into 32-bit
protected mode (which for all us os weenies is the place to be.. :)

If you add in Grub (the multiboot bootstrap loader) you've got everything
you need..
