This assignment is set to prepare you for the later Tacos projects. It will walk you through what happened after a PC is powered on till when an operating system is up and running, which you may have wondered about before.

Throughout this project, you will:

• set up the development environment and run/debug Tacos it in QEMU
• trace the boot process and get familiar with the codebase
• do a simple programming exercise to add a tiny kernel monitor to Tacos

Note that this assignment is much simpler than the remaining projects, because it is intentionally designed to help you warm up.
