No... the result of this: "boot directive with unknown boot device 'd:'. use 'a', 'c' or 'cdrom'." :-\

Re:BOCHS: Booting from Partition...
hmm ... so you might need to make BOCHS use your hard drive using the ata0-master: type=disk path="d:", ... instead, and then use 'boot=c' ...

hmm...no.. i've always checked this out! I think it is inpossible to run a OS this way under Windows....
Let's use Linux!! ;D

Have you put your OS onto your computer's D: drive, or onto a hard disk image which maps to the second drive in Bochs?
If you're using your real hard disk (which I don't recommend -- too risky), and you're using Windows NT, 2000 or XP, it's enough to use "D:" as the disk image path in Bochs. If you're using Windows 95, 98 or Me then you can't do things this way and you will need to create a hard disk image.
Also, try getting the latest version of Bochs. Looking at the error messages, I'd say you're using an old version.
