**** To prepare bochs for use ****

1) Rename file bochsrc-sample.txt to bochrc.txt for use.
-cd ${prefix}/share/bochs
-sudo cp bochsrc-sample.txt bochrc.txt

2) Create a disk image for the emulator.
-cd ${prefix}/share/bochs
-sudo bximage (prompts will guide you)
-sudo chmod 777

3) Remove the current 'ata0-master:' statement in ${prefix}/share/bochs/bochsrc.txt
and replace it with the 'ata0-master:' string displayed at the end of the bximage
process.

4) Format the disk image using FreeDOS (http://bochs.sourceforge.net/diskimages.html)
according to the bochs documentation. (http://bochs.sourceforge.net/)

5) Now start bochs using the ${applications_dir}/bochs.app program;
you may also use the bochs command line utility. \n"

--->  Extracting bochs
--->  Configuring bochs
--->  Building bochs with target all

--->  Staging bochs into destroot

--->  Installing bochs

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using bochs with these commands:
