I wonder if TinyPy (http://www.tinypy.org/) could be used to write a boot loader. It would probably need some more code to replace the services it uses from an OS, and perhaps it would need to work in 16bit program mode on x86 - but maybe it's doable? tinypy is a minimalist implementation of python in 64k of code -- дамјан ( http://softver.org.mk/damjan/ ) "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
