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

HTH

To floppy at first, not planning hdd support yet.

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

When the time arrises someone will write a HD driver for BOS.

how about adding a pascal compiler as well? Also you have not emailed me back...look at your inbox for asmhackers.net...im treymonty@myway.com!

Thanks!

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.

I have qemu too, it's just that i use the debugger in BOCHS to found a lot of
errors in my code..

...and all this time I thought you wrote error free code.
