This is a known problem.  I need to go and see if Kevin
Lawton has fixed this particular bug in his emulation code
yet in Bochs and apply changes as needed.

I can boot the cd, use fdisk and format to create a
fat32 partition in the hard drive image, but when I try
to start the setup plex crashes just before loading the
gui, after the "Copying installation files on disk".
This is before the real setup starts, when the
installer creates a directory named wininst0, that it
uses during the installation; below is the shell
output; my processor is an AMD Athlon (Ghz); ram 128Mb,
(32 for the VM); the OS is Linux Mandrake 9.0; the host
OS I'm trying to install is micro$hit window$ 98 $e
