Writing an operating system from scratch (bootloader, kernel, the works)

Hi,

I will like to know, where can I find tutorials in programming an operating system from scratch, (from bootloader -> software).

I understand how the operating system functions and I've written bootloaders for floppies but I need a concise programming tutorials for bootloaders in hard-disk.

Any tutorials/open-source codes will be appreciated.


Thanks...

Psychologist.

I think I have the book you are looking for.  It is a step-by-step guide.

That's really quite funny...

... I hope Phchologist will see the funny side as well...
