The following thread mentioned boot from floppy as a workaround: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2004-05/msg00173.html However, I played around a bit and had a look at recent changes in the bochs bios, and yes - someone has commited code that might solve this specific problem: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/bochs/bochs/bios/rombios.c?r1=1.123&r2=1.124 If someone could update the bios with the above change then I would be happy to test if the change solved this specific problem. Thanks. / magnus
