Hi,

You asked:

I find that the easiest way to trace Linux kernel execution starting from
the very beginning (boot sector, of course!) is to run it inside an
emulator. Bochs is a good one - http://www.bochs.com that lets you set
breakpoints at physical addresses (great for debugging bootsect.S,
setup.S, video.S and writing bcp.S - all within 30 days of evaluation
period :)
