beginning my foray into kernel programing

["Michael Litchard" <michael%schmong.org@localhost>]

The end goal here is to start making contributions to -current.
Here's where I am at now.
I have done some x86,RISC (using SPIM) and AVR assembler programming.
I know C, and how to construct the data structures typically discussed
in a first data structures class.

so, given that, would anyone be willing to give me a series of tasks
that will prepare me to meet my goal?
