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

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

That's a rather different context than "personal hobby reasons".

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

Of course it's preferred but I did
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

MBR (boot0) and go on from there... I only have one *REAL* machine to
work with which means I need to work with something like
emulators/virtualbox-ose... I also want to do as many automated tests
as possible (for example seeing i

Apparently, I owe everyone an apology.
I found out (a bit too late) that the WD 1 TB "black" drive that had
come to me in sealed anti-static bag with a warning on it about
"Advanced Format" drives (and possible OS incompatability) was not
in fact itself an AF drive. Rather it is a traditional d
