Since you got the program compiled (that was the hard part for me), you got around this 'bx_hga_memory' stuff. I just cat'd a bootable floppy with DOS6.22 to a file `Floppy-A', dd'd a 46MB softdisk and use the following lines in .bochsrc (in the src-dir): # My First Test megs: 8 boot: c diskc: file=./46M.dos, cyl=940, heads=6, spt=17 floppya: 1_44=Floppy-A #floppyb: 1_44=../1.44_doom2 #vgaromimage: ../vgacbios961111 #romimage: ../cbios961112 #romimage: ../romimage2 #romimage: ../cbios961203 #vgaromimage: ../vgatbios Then I started with `bochs -bootA' I had to press return since DOS6.22 waits after the `Starting MS-DOS' message. fdisk and format went fine.
