If you have tried numerous methods then the problem may be in that BOCHS is configured incorrectly. Make sure to check that out. Try the tutorials at
http://www.osdever.net/. There are a couple of tutorials on different methods of enabling the A20 line.

Also, try using some other emulator such as what I use, VirtualPC. It's a little on the expensive side but I haven't had any problems at all with it...so far. Still, I wouldn't suggest paying that much money for it. (My OS enabled PMODE ad A20 and it works fine on VirtualPC)
