I'd say if whoever has enough drive to try something like this, simply
start by implementing the kernel. Something relatively simple so that
your PC can boot using a Object Pascal written kernel. No matter if
there is no user interaction, shell or user level programs. Just show
that you CAN write a bootable kernel in Object Pascal would already
achieve the "wow" factor.

I have a question about this, relating to what the free pascal compiler can actually do ?

Does free pascal compiler actually implement and support the entire x86 instruction set/registers ?

Since "application space" is different from "kernel space".

For example:

asm
   // full instruction set support possible ?

end;

Bye,
Skybuck.
