That does sound like an intriguing challenge, provided you don't set out 
to design the best OS that has ever been.

If you get to the point where you can compile, link and run a "Hello 
World" C program on that platform, that's certainly good enough for 
starters.


And if PC hardware seems too messy and non-standardized (which most 
certainly is the case), something like the Raspberry Pi might be an 
interesting target.


Then again, why design a whole OS if I'd only want to run a very limited 
set of programs on it anyway... it can't be too complicated to build a 
POV-Ray version that runs directly atop the BIOS, can it? :-P
