Hi All,

     I am very new to bochs and i am trying to boot a win7 disk image i
created with VirtualBox. I converted the VirtualBox disk image into raw and
tried but failed , and i also tried vmdk format and failed ( but it got
further with the vmdk format).

     This is the bochsrc line i added , it's 10gb disk

" ata0-master: type=disk, path="win.vmdk", mode=vmware4, cylinders=20805,
heads=16, spt=63, translation=auto "

     This below is a snippet from bochsout

   I get a freeze on "Booting from disk". Are VirtualBox created disks
supported ?

Thanks
