| Bochs is a program that simulates a complete Intel x86 computer, including hardware. It can be used to test Etherboot. There is a special pseudo NIC ("pnic") implemented in Bochs, with a corresponding driver in Etherboot. (There is also an NE2000 ISA driver in Bochs, but it doesn't seem to quite work.) | Bochs is a program that simulates a complete Intel x86 computer, including hardware.
