How to use bochs in ubuntu ?

Question

I am making a simple operating system kernel and want to emulate it using bochs. Currently, I am using qemu as my emulator but want to switch over to bochs. I have downloaded and installed bochs in ubuntu but couldn't figure out a way to use it? Can anybody help me with that ? Any links or some way to get me started would be really helpful.

Answer 1

I needed the following .bochsrc run a minimal boot sector:

ata0-master: type=disk, path="main.img", mode=flat,
cylinders=1, heads=1, spt=1
boot: disk
display_library: sdl
megs: 128
