.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.LP
|
|
Bximage is an easy to use console based tool for creating
|
|
disk images, particularly for use with Bochs. It is
|
|
completely interactive if no command line arguments are
|
|
used. It can be switched to a non-interactive mode if all
|
|
required parameters are given in the command line.

|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.LP
|
|
When you run bximage without one of the following options,
|
|
it will appear in interactive mode and ask for all
|
|
required parameters to create an image.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-fd
|
|
Create a floppy image.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-hd
|
|
Create a hard disk image.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-mode=...
|
|
Image mode (for hard disks only - see the
|
|
.I bochsrc
|
|
sample for supported options).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-size=...
|
|
Image size in megabytes (e.g. 1.44 for floppy image, 10
|
|
for hard disk image).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-q
|
|
Quiet mode (don't prompt for user input). Without this
|
|
option bximage uses the command line parameters as
|
|
defaults for the interactive mode. If this option is
|
|
given and one of the required parameters is missing,
|
|
bximage will fall back to interactive mode.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \--help
|
|
Print a summary of the command line options for
|
|
bximage and exit.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.I filename
|
|
parameter specifies the name of the image to be created.
