The booting sequence for NewOS (actually it is inherited form OpenBLT which in turn inherited from SigOps by ACM@UIUC) is very simple. The only few BIOS calls made are int 0x10 to set correct VESA/VGA mode in its bootblock. With proper int 0x10 support or FBDev driver, LinuxBIOS should be able to to NewOS without problem.
P.S. I know, this NewOS is only a toy so don't take it too serious. Ollie
