Bochs is exiting. Press ENTER when you're ready to close this window.

This evil message mean? Considering I don't provide any references to "C" whatsoever, and it does this with or without a bochsrc?

You're passing the first parameter as 'C:\Code\OS\delta.bvm'

as I've said before in several threads, when you use a unix tool, never ever use backslashes in pathnames

So it should be 'C:/Code/OS/delta.bvm'.
