Bytes instead of chs for disk size in bochs?

Post by clementttttttttt »

Is there a way to specify the disk image size in bytes instead of chs in bochs? The chs size is extremely troublesome and annoying to calculate.

just omit it, like this:
ata0-master: type=disk, mode=flat, path="30M.sample"
bochs will then print
autodetection enabled
and run fine
