Question about which tools to use, bugs, the best way to implement a function, etc should go here. Don't forget to see if your question is answered in the wiki first! When in doubt post here.
( I would have made the title different...but didn't know what even to call this ).
I have a question, as you might know
I have 2 bins that are created...in linux commands...or even DOS comands/programs, how would I make those two files put together? like, here's on a floppy:
bootsector->Kernel.
How would I take my two bin files and make them one file like this:
Can't you do this with dd in Linux if you had a nice big file to dd it into?
Here's another idea:
You can mount a file (Bochs comes with a utility bximage to create blank hd and fd images) on the loopback device, you then copy files to it as you normally would to a floppy, then unmount the file and use it as an image in bochs (I guess in theory you could point bochs at the loopback device, but I wouldn't recommend it).
You could probably wrap that all up quite nicely into a bash script. So after you've put the bootsector in using dd you can just use the file as you would a normal disk.
Was this what you wanted?
More fun things to do with Bochs under Linux:
Setup the serial port on bochs to let you view Bochs com1 output on a linux console or X window. So you can pass debugging messages from your kernel to the serial port and see them real (Bochs real) time.
Bochs + Linux is very versatile, and the prereleases of version 2.0 runs very nicely indeed.
