Check out the alt.os.assembly and alt.os.development news groups.
They cover making hobby OSes, most are for 386+ machines, and
made using djgpp or gcc.
I am using djgpp under win95 to make a small toy OS.
I wrote a bootstrap and 2nd stage that are for fat12 floppies,
that put the processor in a simple 32bit mode and load the kernel
that is in a linked coff format.
So 'yes' it can be done!
(Making code that looks like anything to an outsider is a different story.)
