alt Hacker NewsIs there any chance of booting this on a raspberry pi someday?
I'd love a non-linux minimal single-user OS that boots in <1 second

It’s written for the i386 CPU architecture while Raspberry Pi is ARM, so it would need to be ported.
What about Haiku OS? It’s supposed to be for that exact use case…

Have you checked out RISC OS already?
While I share the sentiment (and have been noodling with similar projects), unfortunately the minimum is around 4 seconds as the VideoCore chip is what boots first, then after about 4 seconds hands things over to the ARM chip, which can effectively boot instantly with this sort of OS.
