To get bochs running is fairly simple:
1. Get the bochs source code:
a) cvs -d:pserver:anonymous:@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bochs login
b) cvs -d:pserver:anonymous:@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bochs co bochs
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bochs login
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bochs co bochs
2. Configure bochs with
./configure --enable-all-optimisations --enable-pci \
--enable-ne2000 --enable-pnic
Other potentially useful configure options:
--prefix=/usr
to force use of standard file locations
--enable-debugger
to enable the internal debugger
pushd bochs
./configure --enable-all-optimisations --enable-pci --enable-pnic
--enable-debugger --enable-magic-breakpoints --enable-disasm
popd
3. Build bochs:
make
make -C bochs
4. Configure Etherboot with CONFIG_PCI_DIRECT: add the line
CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_PCI_DIRECT
to the end of src/arch/i386/Config.
5. Build bin/pnic.zrom:
make bin/pnic.zrom
6. Load the TUN/TAP kernel module:
4. Set up a TAP virtual network device:
modprobe tun
You should see the device /dev/net/tun is created automatically if
you're using devfs, otherwise you may have to create it by hand with:
mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200
tunctl -u <username> -t tap0
ifconfig tap0 up 10.254.254.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
7. Grant yourself write access to /dev/net/tun:
su -c 'chown <your user id> /dev/net/tun'
The alternative to this is to run Bochs as root. Don't do that.
8. Add the following fragment to /etc/dhcpd.conf:
5. Add the following fragment to /etc/dhcpd.conf:

your own.
9. Change back to this directory and run bochs from your Bochs source tree:
cd /path/to/Etherboot/contrib/bochs
/path/to/bochs/source/tree/bochs
6. Restart dhcpd
/etc/init.d/dhcpd restart
10. Select option 5 (Begin simulation). You will be prompted for your
root password. This is required in order to configure the tun1
network interface and to restart the DHCP server.
7. Build Etherboot images
pushd ../../src
make bin/pnic.dsk
popd

from the network.
