Hi,
you'll need to learn Assembly and another high level language eg C,Pascal thats appropriate for system programming. And then you'll also need to gather info on the system architecture you want to write an os for eg Intel 386 docs,keyboard,vga etc
Most of all you'll have to be ready to try over and over again until the PC does what you expect it to do!!!!
It could be hard but its very rewarding to see your OS controlling the HARDWARE!!!!! ;D
Good LUCK!! :)
