It appears that you're missing bochs-x which is one of the GUI packages that can be used by Bochs. You should either get bochs-x from your package repository or you should get another GUI package and configure Bochs to use that.

Hi:

If you used package management to get the binaries, do:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install bochs-x

If you compiled from source, try enabling X in the configure script. The bochs online documentation is pretty useful, too. You may find it useful to give it a read.

It works, but now i have another problem.

FATAL: No bootable device

The img was created through wineconsole with makeboot.exe.

Well, double check the boot signature on the disk.

[Payn3]

I'm pretty sure that the signature is fine.
dw 0xAA55 right?

It's there any posibility to pass the bootsect+kernel to usb drive and boot it from there?
I mean the bootsect i know how to pass it to usb and works,but i don't know how to do the same thing with the kernel.

The code

Code: Select all

sudo dd if=bootsect.bin of=/dev/sdf1  bs=512 count=1

I'm pretty sure that the signature is fine.
dw 0xAA55 right?

These are byte 510 and 511 I presume? And is the bochs configuration ok, i.e. does it even list the floppy drive or hard disk you want to boot from?
