RE: How to use Bochs?
I have installed Bochs successfully from ports. At first, I planned to install Windows in Bochs, but soon I found that Bochs needed to be configured before functioning properly. How to configure? I have no idea. I visited the homepage of Bochs just now, but with no gains. I strongly suggest you to give qemu a try. It installs from ports including a bios and I already successfully booted e.g. the netbsd installation cd from in it under FreeBSD5.4.

I visited the homepage of Bochs just now, but with no gains. It has been ages since I used bochs but in short you need to create a hard disk image file and a bochsrc configuration file. There are a bunch of hard disk image files (http://bochs.sourceforge.net/diskimages.html) available on the bochs home page and the bochs manual has an entire chapter on creating the configuration file (http://bochs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/topper.pl?name=New+Bochs+Documentationurl=http://bochs.sourceforge.net/doc/docbook). Years ago I used it when I had to run an old windows (3.1) application that wouldn't work under wine. It worked well. I strongly suggest you to give qemu a try.

I visited the homepage of Bochs just now, but with no gains. They have links to a FAQ and the user manual on the home page http://bochs.sourceforge.net/ The manual looks fairly complete.
