heylo, one and all!
lately, i've been hearing about this project about porting the kaffe JVM onto bare metal.
that allows it to theoretically run a java-based OS.
how about doing the same with mono??

Nothing stops you. Mono is just a library you can embed into other applications, so it would be just as easy to embed it into your kernel. You'd need a bare metal C standard library for it to run on, and don't expect WinForms or anything fancy unless you also embed GTK, some sort of GUI system, and a large array of drivers into your kernel.
