Any clues? You cannot do this.

You can't, again. You can point bochs at plain devices (/dev/fd0, /dev/ wd0, etc) and it will work, but it does not support anything else. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\
