No - the Squeak virtual machine *is* the kernel. See Squeak on DOS for

The OSKit includes this, though I have no idea how easy it is to use it.

Squeak includes an abstract file system already. See the second
Tektronix chapter in the green book ("Smalltalk-80: Bits of History,
Words of Advice", Addison-Wesley, 1983, ISBN 0-201-11669-3, edited by
Glenn Krasner) to see how much work is required to write the needed concrete
classes.
