Posted that in Technical, but got no reply. Trying here...

Convinced by a few people here (including Data), I tried to run Bochs on my PC.

Going through all the settings and making it boot from CD-Rom took me a few hours. After starting the damn thing with Win98 Boot CD, I end up with the following:

00017694391i[CPU ] BxError: instruction with op1=0xff
00017694391i[CPU ] mod was 40, nnn was 7, rm was 3
00017694391i[CPU ] WARNING: Encountered an unknown instruction (signalling illegal instruction)

This just keeps repeating until BOCHS is closed.

Any idea on what might be happening? I booted the thing from a DOS 7.1 bootdisk and it worked properly...

PS. The following was Bochsrc.txt I used:

Maybe that nobody didn't answer is becouse nobody didn't know what is Bochs, OS??

Bochs is emulator of x86 machine ,also suitable for linux(and maybe other systems - i don't remember) more complex , than dosbox , but much harder to set up .

Since this is software related I think we can let this stay here although I would not have moved this if it was posted in technical stuff either.

As I said, I have posted it a few days ago in technical - but there was no reply there, so I decided to try my luck in Troubleshooting.

Yes, BOCHS is supposed to emulate entire X86 PC, not unlike DosBox really, but not the same - it's closer to Virtual PC, since it also emulates hard drives (as disk images) and requires an actual opsys installation.
