Hi all! I am a newbie in OS development. I want to ask if it is a good idea to try to write my own boot strap loader. Because all the boot strap loaders that I had studied on the net had their design dependent on their shells or kernels that are loaded afterwards. Thanx in advance for all answers and advices.

It is, that's what I did. But if you want to save yourself from the trouble, I made my own & it loads a C kernel ( had help from people from here ).
It has lots of comments it's at

I wouldn't write my own bootloader. It takes too much time, and it keeps you back from doing the *really* interesting things in the kernel.
