Hello guys, i just want to start code but then again when i was setting up the virtual floppy drive everything works good i can see the floppy there(yeah i followed the tutorials on this site) then i used partcopy and after that i have entered the bochssrc.txt and then when i run the bochs it shows that info in the bochsrc.txt is malformed what is the problem

Code: Select all

# ROM and VGA BIOS images ---------------------------------------------
 
romimage:    file=BIOS-bochs-latest, address=0xf0000 
vgaromimage: VGABIOS-lgpl-latest 
 
# boot from floppy using our disk image -------------------------------
 
floppya: 1_44=a:, status=inserted  # Boot from drive A
 
# logging and reporting -----------------------------------------------
 
log:         OSDev.log             # All errors and info logs will output to OSDev.log
error:       action=report 
info:        action=report

I had a simular problem and i removed the ", address=0xf0000" and it worked.
Maybe its because bochs automatically finds the needed address.
