C programming question

[Jing Su]

For the purposes of just seeing what the kernel does, even in protected
mode, with regards to both virtual and physical memory, an easier method
may be to run it in an emulator instead of trying to examine the running
operating system.

Try something like bochs.
http://bochs.sourceforge.net/

A colleague of mine uses Bochs for simulating Linux on an x86 for his
runtime trace optimization research.  Apparently Bochs is a really well
constructed and designed piece of work; expecially nice if it becomes
necessary to dig under Bochs itself to see what it's doing in terms of
emulation.
