Are there any projects like that that show people how to write a bootloader? I have been wanting to write something like Xv6 except I want to write everything that will be running except BIOS code.

I have yet to find something on bootloader code.

The BrokenThorn OS Dev tutorials have a great section for bootloader development. [1]

You can find a whole bunch more stuff on the OS Dev Wiki too. [2]
