Have you looked at Darwin and Mac OS X ? I feel QEMU (and OpenHackWare) are very close to launch them: at least all the hardware emulation is there. I am unable to look at the problem because I don't have an easy way to recompile the Darwin kernel to insert debug messages... and another problem is that I don't have the time :-) Fabrice.
