If you consider VirtualBox for automated tests, you should make some
testing life cycle.
I'd recommend to you:
1. create sparse file (truncate -s 1G for example)
2. mdconfig -af file (produced md0)
3. work with md0 as if it was real hw disk (write boot sectors, fs, etc),
then destroy md0 (mdconfig

I hope that "special arrangement" includes passing the final exams,
or otherwise demonstrating that you already know the content, of at
least the minimum course work that would ordinarily be req

I would then extremely careful with Java.
There are many reasons why assembler and C are still the languages used
for OS programming.

The reason for Java has nothing to do with VM's per se but with some
of the networking features I have in mind. Also from a theoretical
point of view any turning complete vm would do (the actual HW
differences are fairly easy to abstract in the model I have in mind
and polymorphism is a must for v
