Well, I'm told that  http://sumeru.stanford.edu/tim/pooters/OE_Tour.html
is quite a good guide for part of your problem, and I suspect that
http://coweb.cc.gatech.edu/squeakbook/22 should help.

If you've never built a VM before, are you confident you have the
requisite parts to actually make these mods? Y'know, computer, keyboard,
compiler, brain fully engaged before releasing parking brake, all that
kind of thing?
