MzScheme. See <URL:http://www.cs.rice.edu/CS/PLT/packages/mzscheme/index.html>

	MzScheme is available in kernel form for x86 machines, which
	allows MzScheme to boot without the aid of a separate operating
	system.  The MzScheme kernel is based on the OSKit[*]. 

[*] Is a link to the same OSKit link as Evan gave.

But since this *is* comp.lang.lisp and not comp.lang.scheme, the
question is still interesting: What about some flavor of Common Lisp
(perhaps CLISP, for simplicity) directly on top of the Flux OSKit?
