bochs error

[firas981]

bochs log file reported that it couldn't find floppy drive image , however the file is existant with bochs.exe in the same directory , I think that configuration file and log file will explain the situation accurately .

Your getting that error because bochs cant detect your image. Can you boot off a floppy using bochs?
Try: floppya: 1_44="a:", status=inserted

Does it work?

[Tim]

The image file might well be in the same directory as bochs.exe, but is the working directory set to the same directory as bochs.exe?

Try this:

Code: Select all

C:\>cd the\directory\where\bochs\is\installed

C:\THE\DIRECTORY\WHERE\BOCHS\IS\INSTALLED>bochs
