The CD I have is not bootable.  I guess I could grab a NetBSD boot
CD...  Otherwise that's not very different from what I have, but I
also have a couple of floppy images and a working hard disk image.
And I put all of this in ~/.bochsrc instead of on the command line.


I'll try with a real CD and see if I can get it to boot.  If that
fails, maybe I should give up on the elpin (elfin?) bootrom and
try one of the others that bochs installs?
