How to write a Hello World Bootloader for MIPS?

I'm learning MIPS Assembly by the book MIPS Assembly Language Programming, but my I've just started learning MIPS because I want to build a MIPS OS, but now as I can see, there isn't any documentation talking about boot and these things. Then I'm asking here for someone that have already done this to point me at the right place.

I've already have developed a simple OS in x86 Assembly

"I've already have developed a OS in x86 Assembly" - oh no you haven't, Nathan. But thanks for the laugh. – anon
@Neil: Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if he has. Developing an OS isn't hard. Heck, most of us embedded/microcontroller programmers have had to do it at one time or another. Designing a good one is slightly harder depending on how you define "good". The hardest part is getting other people to use it. – slebetman
@slebetman You obviously haven't been following Nathan's many posts here - believe me, he hasn't. – anon

AFAIK, MIPS used a similar boot loader to the linux's loader lilo called milo, perhaps that is worth checking out first to see how is it done.

Good luck with your Mips OS... ;)

Hope this helps, Best regards, Tom.
