It has been ages since I used bochs but in short you need to create a hard 
disk image file and a bochsrc  configuration file. There are a bunch of hard 
disk image files (http://bochs.sourceforge.net/diskimages.html) available on 
the bochs home page and the bochs manual has an entire chapter on creating 
the configuration file 
(http://bochs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/topper.pl?name=New+Bochs+Documentation&url=http://bochs.sourceforge.net/doc/docbook).

Years ago I used it when I had to run an old windows (3.1) application that 
wouldn't work under wine. It worked well.
