NAME

       bochs - Portable x86 Emulator.

SYNOPSIS

       bochs [bochs_options] [bochsrc_options]

DESCRIPTION

       Bochs is a portable Intel Architecture  32 (x86) emulator that runs on most popular  operating systems. Inside  the emulator,  it  can  run
       many operating systems including Linux and Microsoft(R) Windows(R).

OPTIONS

       When you run bochs without one of the following options, it will search for a configuration file called .bochsrc in the	current  directory
       and your home directory and display the start menu.

       -q     With this option the start menu will be skipped after loading the configuration file.

       -f configfile
	      This option specifies the name of the configuration file.

       -qf configfile
	      When you run bochs with this option, it will skip the start menu and use the specified configuration file.

       -n     With  this  option  bochs  doesn't  load	a  configuration file.	In that case the setup for the emulation must be done with bochsrc
	      options on the command line or in the start menu.

       -h, --help
	      Print a summary of the command line options for bochs and exit.

       You can override the settings from the configuration file with command line arguments, using the  same  syntax  as the bochsrc file. If you
       have   any  spaces  in  your command line arguments, they should be enclosed  in  single quotes.  For information on Bochs command line and
       configuration file arguments, see the man page bochsrc(5).

       Example:
	 bochs -q 'boot:a' 'floppya: 1_44=a.img, status=inserted'

NAME

       bximage - Interactive Disk Image Creator for Bochs

SYNOPSIS

       bximage [options] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       Bximage	 is an easy to use console based tool for creating disk  images, particularly  for  use with  Bochs.  It   is completely  interac-
       tive if no command  line arguments  are used.  It can be switched to a non-interactive mode if all required parameters  are  given  in  the
       command line.

OPTIONS

       When  you  run bximage without one of the following options, it will  appear  in  interactive  mode and	ask   for  all required parameters
       to create an image.

       -fd    Create a floppy image.

       -hd    Create a hard disk image.

       -mode=...
	      Image mode (for hard disks only - see the bochsrc sample for supported options).

       -size=...
	      Image size in megabytes (e.g. 1.44 for floppy image, 10 for hard disk image).

       -q     Quiet  mode (don't prompt for user input). Without this option bximage uses the  command	line parameters as defaults for the inter-
	      active mode. If this option is given and one of the required parameters is missing, bximage will fall back to interactive mode.

       --help Print  a	summary  of  the command line options for bximage and exit.

       The filename parameter specifies the name of the image to be created.
