Very nice start. A few things:
I like the date display at the top, however the little blinky '_' (hardware cursor) doesn't return to the prompt on time update. It's after the promt for a second, but then goes away.

When typing a bad command, it says "Bad command type help". It should be "Bad command. Type help". Notice the period.

In your help printout, "Cpu" should be "CPU".

Is the shell a separate app, or internal?

Oh, and I don't like 'quit'. If it shuts down, then I'd like a message thats says "Kernel Shutdown" or something. I was confused.

If you hit a lot of keys very fast, it's really slow in processing that, plus then it wont accept much more input, and it wont deal with the command when you press enter (it locks up).

Overall, it's good. Just some minor things to fix. Sorry if I'm overly critical, I've just been stress testing my own kernel for all problems. I did have 3 tripple faults when testing it, but that probably Qemu being stupid.
