I have Bochs Working enough to boot floppy!!

[Zhang Zhichao-A5057C]

How about simulating a hard disk?  Anyone done that with RTEMS?

1.firstly, create a hard disk image file or use the default DLX linux hard image file delivered with Bochs
	
  Create image by Linux DD command or use bochs bximage program. then it should be partitioned and formated with DOS's (or other OS's) 
disk utility. 

2.Add some lines into the configuration file for hard disk
for example

# hard disk
ata0: enabled=1, ioaddr1=0x1f0, ioaddr2=0x3f0, irq=14
ata0-master: type=disk, path="hd10meg.img", cylinders=306, heads=4, spt=17

# choose the boot disk.
boot: c	

3. Then it's ok for hard disk. 

PS, Using the hard disk image is a lillte boring, maybe using CDROM iso image will better.

Hi All,

I have a Bochs configuration file that works enough to run the 4.5.0 grub floppy image.  I just ran it as "bochs -f b -q".

Anyone have an idea what CPU model is being simulated by default and which other variants can be tested using different Bochs options?

Erwin.. did you get the TCP/IP stack working?

I would really like to get to the point where this is an easy way to test nearly all of RTEMS.

Erwin.. then maybe someone can do the same for PearPC. :)

Here is the configuration file:
