A pre-build floppy disk image would be great, so I could run it on my IBM PS/1 from a floppy.
Ok, I built the floppy image now. dd'ed it on a floppy and powered my IBM PS/1 up. Despite some nasty sounds of the HDD bearings that went away after 30 seconds, the floppy does not boot on this machine. Just a black screen. 386SX-25 2MB RAM. Maybe 2MB RAM too less, but I thought at least something will happen. :-)
Even on 2MB, you should be able to at least see GRUB, which would tell you that it can't load the kernel. Does it go blank before that? This could mean an issue with either GRUB or the floppy.
There seems to be an 8 meg image here: https://github.com/luke8086/gentleos32/releases/download/202...

I'm curious what model of PS/1? My first PC was a PS/1 model 2011, with a 286@10Mhz.
Also, there's an emulator for PS/1 machines at https://www.ibmulator.org/
For PS/1 you'll need the 16-bit version from https://github.com/luke8086/gentleos. A floppy image is provided in releases. Note you only need to copy the first 64KB, the rest is just padding for emulators.
