There was a guy, Mike Saunders I believe, who used to work for Linux Format. He did what you're looking to do. IIRC, he made MikeOS from scratch in x86 assembly. The project should still be active, and since it's open source, you can look at the code to get an understanding of how it all works together. He even showed how to make a bootloader (super basic though) in a fairly recent issue, I'll have to look through my back issues later to find it. At any rate, I'm sure you could talk to him directly if you have questions.
