Re: L4::Pistachio 0.3 and Bochs

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hi,

Did you try booting from the Pistachio 0.2 demo-disk available from the
website [0]?

I managed to boot from the demo disk without any problem.  However, note
that I'm running a September 30th CVS snapshot of Bochs (for some
reason, the demo-disk doesn't work with Bochs 2.0 [1]).

Cheers,
Ludovic.
