Zero. Whoever said an OS had to have processes (in the strict sense of the term) running all the time? For example, in the early stages of the Linux boot process, the idle process is not yet created, and so one could say that there are no processes in the system. That said, the answer might be different if you specified your question in more detail (what OS, what stage of the boot process, what do you consider a process). :)
