Very cool!

Just tried this out for fun on my 486DX2 PC ( https://i.imgur.com/NOeR1Ad.jpg ). It boots, but obviously the minimal kernel only has included support for a small set of hardware, which does not include serial mouse, S3 805 VGA (works, but graphical artifacts), and 3C509 ISA network card. Will have to try out the provided toolchain and scripts to try and see if I can rebuild with better hardware support for my 486. Why bother, you ask? Why not, I say!
