Forge Virtual Machine with BOCHS

A brand new BOCHS machine has been done on my Debian! I do it as:

1. Install bochs and bochs VGA lib:

   $ aptitude install bochs bochs-x

2. Create a virtual hard drive:

   $ bximage

3. Use and revise the bochs configuration template file: bochsrc. You may find it out. Mine is the follows:
   

   config_interface: textconfig
   display_library: x
   #romimage: file=/usr/share/bochs/BIOS-bochs-latest, address=0xf0000
   romimage: file=$BXSHARE/BIOS-bochs-latest
   megs: 1024
   vgaromimage: file=/usr/share/vgabios/vgabios.bin

   #usb1: enabled=1, ioaddr=0xFF80, irq=10
   usb1: enabled=1, port1=mouse

4. Run the new machine:

   $ bochs -f bochsrc
