I once wrote a little assembly program that would
load the first sector of a floppy to 0x7c000 and
jump to that code. It'd work from DOS.
It wouldn't require much effort to use DOS calls
to load a file, rather than the first sector of a
disk.

ps - unfortunately, no, I don't have the source
anybody, but any OS developer could write it up
in about 5 seconds
