How do you write a kernel?

Post by Chris (Again...) »

Ok, now  I have a bootsector that will load a file from sector 2 of a floppy. I just need a file (Read: Kernel) to load. I've checked out alot of sites, but I havent found a tutorial on how to write a kernel. I also havent found any *SIMPLE* kernels to learn from. I have check EVERYWHERE for books on writing your own os, to no avail. Anybody with ideas?? thanx!
