I found it useful to start with an emulator (qemu or virtualbox) - I
had no trouble installing 9front or oberon and I felt confident that I
could play around with the config and just start afresh if I made a
mistake. (which I did). That way you can build up a little "OS zoo" of
various different ones to tinker with.

Genode is interesting too if you haven't come across it.
