I tried to boot GNU Mach and got the following:

, <0x100000:0x19c0b4:0x0>, <0x29d00:0xe3ac:0x25c48>, shtab=0x2d12f8Starting up
 ...
GNU Mach 1.3.99
AT386 boot: physical memory from 0x0 to 0x1fff0000
pcibios_init : BIOS32 Service Directory structure at 0xfdb20
pcibios_init : BIOS32 Service Directory entry at 0xfdb30
pcibios_init : PCI BIOS revision 2.10 entry at 0xfdb51
Probing PCI hardware.

Here it stops. Is this good or bad? :-) Looks like not too good, since
