I've found that handbook lacks one important part - there a lot of stuff described well, but nowhere shown how it all works together. I've started to write an additional chapter, called "System initialization", where the initialization will be described in-deep, starting from bootstrapping, trough the loader code, to kernel initialization. I'm doing that for x86 arch. Question: does it makes sense to add this to dev-handbook ? If so, I'll post a hyperlink to compiled code soon to review.
