Maybe there is something wrong with my bochs?
I tried to directly boot the code from brokenthorn:
This one doesn't work either. An yes I made sure to write more then 512 bytes to the image, and yes I double checked that with a hex editor. So what can be wrong with my bochs? I'm using Ubuntu 9.04. Here is my bochsrc
Now that I come to think of it. This bochsrc is from brokenthorn but I had to comment out the first two lines because that bios was not installed. Maybe there is something wrong with the used bios?
