Do you want to write it in assembly or in C? How are you going to deal with 32 bit code?
I'd suggest that the bios switches to protected mode in a very early state. This would allow to develop most of the code (except the setup code) in C, which is sure what we want (At least I think so)
Before we start coding, we should start making plans about what we want to do at all. I started that on my draft of a homepage. When we have collected and discussed enough we can structure the whole thing and *after that* we should start coding IMHO.
One question could be: Do we want to support an Award compatible bios which has 16bit calls or do we want to save up the space to implement newer features?
