How I can get things going?

Hello.

        I got the vsta. Installed on my dos machine, and vsta boots up.
I could not do much expect move arround.

        First, I need to do is, to setup my environment, what is the
recommended setup and how do I get this thing done.

        Second, I tried to compile a simple hello world, (cc -o test test.c)
I got some errors, (it is expected) but then console got hungup. Well
I can change to second console, but the first one just stays there. Infact
this behaviour is reproduceable. I just used (go.bat) to boot vsta with
default boot.lst. Any help is appreciated.

        Once I get used the environment, I want to read the kernel source,
and make some notes, in the following manner
        bootup
                move to higger mem
                loads kernel
                jump to magic address etc
        kernel startup
                init mem etc .. etc

        I am not sure it is useful to anyone but this exersice will
give me better understanding of how vsta is implemented. I would appreciate
if someone could give me guidance.

Regards
Vanier
