You know, NeurOn, if you just followed the instructions on the page (http://os.ibds.kit.edu/2101/php) you provided us, you should have no difficulty building a bootable 1.4Mb floppy containing L4. All the steps to do this are quite clearly documented on that page. It took me about 10 minutes.
OK, I got it to work now, and to be completely honest I don't know why it didn't work the first time. I have one more problem however, and I'm not sure what's causing it. When I boot the image using QEMU, I select the boot option, then I get an error saying:
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Tell us all the steps you followed to create, and run, the image. Word for word. Letter for letter. Keystroke for keystroke. Whenever you post a question without doing this you're wasting your time.
We don't know what went wrong given that minimal information. Bootloaders are bad for this -- their tiny little brains can't cough up more than a general "it doesn't work" kind of error message when things aren't precisely as they expected, and that's best case. Worst case they just freeze and tell you nothing.
We are not mind readers. We don't even know what you did yet, let alone how to fix it...
I didn't ask what set of instructions you followed, I asked what you actually did -- word for word, letter for letter, keystroke for keystroke. Surely you had to adapt them in some way. Copy-paste it if necessary.

Problem changed.
I've got a message showing on the screen which says
Guest has not initialized the display (yet)
