Bochs problem

Hello!

I have one problem with Bochs. My OS does'n work!
When I make an image (of floppy disk where I have bootloader and kernel) and run Bochs, it writes: Booting from floppy. Nothing more.

Where is problem? Is problem in image (I'm using RAW write to do it), in bochs configuration? I'm using Windows 98.

Please help if you can.

Thanks for answers!

have a nice coding

Is it working if you write the image to a floppy and test it on a real PC?

i'd suggest you try first by running a known-working image (plenty of them in the 'test' forum, so that you ensure your BOCHS config is right ... *if* your bochs can run a known-working image *and* if your loader/kernel works on real hardware then we're really facing a bochs problem. Otherwise, the problem is probably in your code/bochs config.

Hint: try using "a:" as image name to force bochs using the real floppy if you fear something wrong with your rawwrite ...
