I don't really understand what you mean. What is bootloader-like about this project? Any kernel, no matter what platform it targets, is going to look pretty similar to this project at this stage.
Well yes, but I the main idea of this series is to use no dependencies in order to have a deeper under standing of the entire stack, from boot to GUIs (that is a long term goal!)

Wouldn't it be more accurate to call this "Making a RISC-V Bootloader"?
As nice as this was to read (and I read all three parts), it's basically all the functionality of grub (or similar).
For toy OSes on x86/x86_64 the best way to get started is to use grub to do all the setup and then launch the kernel.

Sure, the first three parts aren't exactly doing anything earth shattering. But it's an ongoing series, so I don't think one can judge it just yet.
