Bochs

Techniques: Emulators: Bochs

Bochs is an Intel x86 and AMD64 CPU emulator. It is FOSS and so is theoretically available for any platform with the right compiler; binaries are currently available for Linux and Windows.

Setup Notes

I had Bochs working using an .img file as the Windows c:\ drive, and then it mysteriously stopped working (probably due to an Ubuntu upgrade) so I'm taking notes as I rebuild the .img file to (hopefully) fix the problem.

Some notes I took last time (will explain them when I figure out what they mean):

mknod /dev/loop0
modprobe loop
/sbin/losetup /dev/loop0 /home/woozle/win98/c.img

"Edit /etc/fstab -- set up /dev/loop0 just like D drive"

mount /dev/loop0
mknod /dev/tap0 c 36 16

"Next time: try tuntap"
