It will allow building and testing by people without 2 computers and
ethernet (aka etherboot).

I think it would be excellent if you could put the package together.
It would seem to me that there are two ways to bundle it and, if you
have the time and inclination, both would be great.
The first as a developer "bundle" including the sources (if any) you
needed in order to get the "base" versions of either jos or bochs to
work. Do we have a clear abstraction of a booter ala JavaOS or
would checking a second booter into CVS cause conflicts?
The second as a pure binary for those that just want to get the
base running. This second dist won't be super useful right now, but
as soon as we get a classloader ready (do we have a classloader
ready?) people can use the system to mess with adding class
library support without actually hacking the kernel. It is also a
good first look at a possible system demo.
