Bochs can only directly read the floppy from Win2k/XP or *nix. Win9x* K.J. won't work.
What?
I am using Windows ME as my test machine and Bochs works fine. I am though using Bochs-2.0.1.
Are you sure there isn't a problem with your code?

It is *definetely* no code problem! Perhaps, a newer version of Bochs will help...

I didn't say Bochs won't work, I just said Bochs can't read the actual physical floppy in M-E/9x.

Do you have the path to the *latest* BIOS-Bochs version in your bochsrc config file?

chrisa128, I boot my kernelthing from floppy using bochs 2.0.2 upon a w2k-machine/sp2.
Here is an excerpt of my bochsrc.bxrc-settings. May be it is of help for you:
[tt]megs: 32
# filename of ROM images
romimage: file=$BXSHARE/BIOS-bochs-latest, address=0xf0000
vgaromimage: $BXSHARE/VGABIOS-elpin-2.40
# what disk images will be used
floppya: 1_44=a:, status=inserted
# choose the boot disk.
boot: a
[/tt]
stay safe

abless:
In windows: floppya: 1_44=a, status=inserted
in unix: floppya: 1_44=/dev/fd0, status=inserted
at this line, you also can indicate an image.

Surely [tt]a:[/tt] instead of [tt]a[/tt]? [tt]a[/tt] is a file, [tt]a:[/tt] is a device.
