Hi Netters,

  I am working on a research project which involves
  writing a small operating system (unix like) but
  with light weight processes.

  I am working with a MicroVax II which is currently 
  running 4.3bsd. Could somebody point me in the right
  direction with writing the first few (hopefully) lines
  of bootable code. It might be even better if I get some
  sources some of you have already written.

  Are there any other things that I should watch out for ?
  What exactly is involved in getting the machine to run this
  standalone (initially) bootable program.

  Thank you all in advance for any suggestions, comments
  references, sources or whatever. Please mail your
  replies directly to me.
