Thanks for the information. I'm really encouraged
about trying this out. I've got VxWorks, Chorus and
pSOS floppies to try out. Initially I'm using DR-DOS
and Windows-95 floppies to try bochs out.
I've built and installed bochs, but I'm having trouble
running it. Is this an appropriate place to ask user
questions on bochs? If so, this is what the trouble
is (as best I can recall since I have bochs installed
at home). I'm working on Mandrake-linux with kernel
2.2.14. When I try to make a floppy image I get an
I/O read error. The image is the correct size. I try
to run bochs anyhow. It begins to come up, I see the
bios messages and then it seems to hang. In the 1-2
mins to get this far, bochs has generate a 250 meg file
full of 'illegal operations' messages. I know this
isn't much to go on. I can supply more detailed info
over the weekend.
Much thanks,
Mark
