Since everybody is wondering if the list is alive, I'll post something I've been thinking about...
What would it take just to write a Hello World program? I think seeing this code would give people something of a starting place. Do we just load the Video BIOS up and use it to write a string to the screen and halt, or can/should we do it without the Video BIOS?
From there you can add support to initialize your chipsets functions.
BTW, do we have anybody here with a SMP machine? Those do require more to initialize, and we will eventually want to make sure that works.
