I've done some hobbyist OS developing for some time in the past and one of
the worst things I could do, specially when writing hardware-sensitive
stuff, was write tons of code without testing it on real hardware.
IMHO, it's ok to test with the emulator when writing the code (i.e. during
the write-compile-test cycle), but from time to time you'd better check it
on real hardware, too.

This advice is far better than the former one.
Another one is to unplug all the vital hard disks from the system the first
time he wants to test on real hardware, unless he has no other disk.
