did you read the FAQs ?
http://www.google.com/search?q=bochs+%2BFAQ&hl=fr&lr=
also, try this mailing-list :
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bochs-developers
which is archived here :

GYI, I found it using :

PS : Eduardo, your signature is really too long. it should be only

space newline).
