This is the PE2LX port of Bochs/32. All I've done is repackage this
so that it includes the Win32-OS/2 files that are necessary in getting
this going. Stick the BOCHSOS2.EXE into a directory and execute it, it
will uncompress the files for you. Now, first thing you'll need is a
bootable DOS disk (with format.exe & fdisk.exe at the least). Once you
have that, make the floppy.dsk image by typing:
dd.exe if=A: ibs=512 of=floppy.dsk
Then you will make your hard drive image, type:
zero.exe | dd of=harddrive.dsk bs=512 count=20808
This will make a 10 MB hard drive image file (well, ok it's really
19+ but to Bochs it will read as a 10 MB hard drive).
You will then edit the "bochsrc" file in order to aim the
harddrive.dsk & floppy.dsk image files to whichever directory
you've placed this on your HD.
In order for this to run, type in "bochs.exe -bootA" in an OS/2
command prompt.
I'm still trying to see if there is any real difference in performance
with this version and the Xfree86-OS/2 ported version. So far both seem
the same to me (very slow). :)
You'll notice a message saying that there is a version mismatch, simply
say ignore and it'll start going.
