Hi folks. Currently OS initialization in FS mode is intimately tied to the System simobjects, the objects which also act as a collection point for simobjects which belong to a particular computer/system. I'm planning to attempt to put together some CLs which will separate those two and make the OS a separate object/concept which is applied to a system. That, combined with some ideas I have for how processes are handled, will I think better abstract the hardware from the software it's going to run and make how processes and OSes are handled more symmetric, bringing SE mode and FS mode closer together.
This is something I'm thinking of working on for fun on the side so I don't know if or when it might be ready, but I figured I'd send out a heads up in case somebody wants to voice an objection.
