C and open source is great. Though it frustrates me a bit that people did all this work – and here we are again, still implementing BIOS- Interrupts and all this old stuff. If it would compile on my machine I would prefer a tiny loader like FILO. The awkward thing about BIOS is that it was a second OS from the first day on – while the reasonable philosophy behind firmware should be: Start the board, load the OS and go back into your flash until reboot.
