Janus86 - A Bootloader Integrated Kernel

Janus86 is a new genre of kernel for x86 architecture providing functionalities of a kernel under the protected/real modes of operation and can be deployed to boot a bigger kernel.

Features of this tiny kernel

1) A new generation kernel that provides the functionalities of a 32-bit kernel and can switch between protected/real modes .

2) Provides compatibility with x86 and uses a basic peripheral driver set.

3) A futuristic desgin in which a smaller kernel loads a bigger Operating system for execution.

4) It provides the functionalities to load and execute x86 compatible binaries ; kernel images etc. Inspect memory, hardrives / harddrive sectors/ filesystem for the presence of operating systems , load sectors into memory , perform far jumps, via a command line interface etc.
