The ROM BIOS controls what the PC does when it first powers on. Normally, you
|
||||
can use a precompiled BIOS in the source or binary distribution called
|
||||
<filename>BIOS-bochs-latest</filename>. The ROM BIOS is usually loaded
|
||||
starting at address 0xf0000, and it is exactly 64k long.
|
||||
<filename>BIOS-bochs-latest</filename>. The default ROM BIOS is usually loaded
|
||||
starting at address 0xe0000, and it is exactly 128k long. The legacy version of
|
||||
the Bochs BIOS is usually loaded starting at address 0xf0000, and it is exactly
|
||||
64k long.
|
||||
You can also use the environment variable $BXSHARE to specify the location of the BIOS.
|
||||
The usage of external large BIOS images (up to 512k) at memory top is
|
||||
now supported, but we still recommend to use the BIOS distributed with Bochs.
|
||||
Now the start address can be calculated from image size.
|
||||
The start address is now optional, since it can be calculated from image size.
