Bochs Booting From Disk

Post by JamesParsons »

OK if I do go back to OS-Dev, I have this in my way. I am using the Bochs emulator, and just for practice, I tried to boot Menuet but apparently I don't have enough memory in my virtual floppy. I tried to make the floppy as big as possible, but its not working. I want to be able to boot it from the hard disk. is there a way to do this.
here is my .bxrc:

Code: Select all

floppya: image="TheImage.img" status=inserted

Read the Boch's User Manual, in particular sections 4.2.10-4.2.12.
