java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unimplemented Microcode: JUMP_FAR_O32 java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unimplemented Microcode: STORE0_CR3 java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unimplemented Microcode: LGDT_O32 @ 0xf536a and java.lang.IllegalStateException: Attempted To Construct Reserved Segment Type at least these errors should help filling in the missing bits if someone is interested. When that works, we could provide a .jar file with a demo bios image or something like that, for instant experimentation as java applet.
