Re: Bochs

Whn you install bochs there's a file called bochsrc.txt or something like that.
edit it so that it looks something like:

#######################################
#                                     #
#      BOCHS config file for BOS      #
#                                     #
#######################################

romimage: file=BIOS-bochs-latest, address=0xf0000
megs: 32
vgaromimage: VGABIOS-elpin-2.40
floppya: 1_44=a:, status=inserted
boot: a
floppy_bootsig_check: disabled=0
log: bochsout.txt
panic: action=ask
error: action=report
info: action=report
debug: action=ignore
debugger_log: debugger.out
vga_update_interval: 300000
keyboard_serial_delay: 250
keyboard_paste_delay: 100000
floppy_command_delay: 50000
ips: 1000000
mouse: enabled=0
keyboard_mapping: enabled=0, map=
user_shortcut: keys=ctrlaltdel

then simply run bochs.exe with a bos floppy in drive a: and press enter when
the text menu appears.
if you don't have a floppy drive, change the line:

floppya: 1_44=a:, status=inserted

to the imagename instead, which for version 0.04 is

floppya: 1_44=bos_0.04.img, status=inserted

Re: Bochs

I ran it without bochs it was great! I cant wait until you implant fasm in it. How am I going to save my asm files If the entire thing is on a floppy disk? Would it save to floppy or hdd?

Re: Bochs

Why? BOS isn't that big. 1.44MB is plenty for now especially since there is no FS.

Re: Bochs

regarding bochs...i find that qemu is much faster
http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/

or if you're on the windows side of things
http://www.h7.dion.ne.jp/~qemu-win/

bochs will give you 1/100th of what your cpu clock is but qemu will give you approximately 25x speed increase.
