Is it possible to put the ps4 os on your pc harddrive and keep the os working? I mean new pc and empty harddrive.

Do you mean booting the PS4 OS on your PC? No; it'll only run on PS4 hardware. I don't think it's even on the HDD; it'll be on onboard flash.

So it is locked for other pc specs?
And if you change the harddrive then you will need to install the os with a disk or usb. And it takes space on the harddrive, soo seems logic to me that it is on the harddrive.
And yes boot up with ps4 os.

the PS4 only knows how to use the hardware inside a PS4.
There are no PS4 drivers for your PC components.

No, the PS4 only has drivers for it's own hardware, and doesn't have a clue what to do with PC hardware.

People really don't get the difference between an embedded system versus a general purpose one.

The CPU in a PS4 is the same as an AMD Athlon 5150.

No it isn't; its a specially designed SoC. It may be a variant of existing CPUs, but it's not the same.

What about implementing FreeBSD drivers to PS4 os?

 

[gamerk316]

No.

Again, the PS4 is coded against VERY specific HW, down in some cases to hardcoded assumptions on bus timings. No matter what you do, your PS4 OS isn't running as is on a PC, no matter what hardware you have inside it. At minimum, you'd need to emulate the entire PS4 OS/HW architecture.
