Well, I got started in this world of os design and decided to make my own os. You can find it on the site in my sig (might not be available 100% of the time, i'm running it on home pc). Atm it does nothing except print a few strings. But that is expected to change soon.

The image is too small to use in Virtual Floppy Drive. Pad it out to 1474560 bytes so it's a real 1.44 MB floppy.
All it does in VirtualBox is print 5 lines of text on a blue screen. I'm assuming that's it.

Advice, don't post a download to your os until it actually does something interesting. Otherwise people don't really care that about it. Anyway, hope you get somewhere with it!

hey! nice work getting something to boot!
Is this open source? and I'd like to see more info on the eventual design...
btw, if you ever need some source code control, you can PM me for a SVN repo from my server...

I didn't try it, but don't you have a Grub menu entry for your OS in the image... It'd be a lot easier than telling people to enter commands at the boot menu...
