* Using Floppy images is easy, because there is no partition table:

Now you can use the image like a real floppy:

- format : mkfs.minix /dev/loop0

- filesystem check : fsck.minix /dev/loop0

- mount : mount /dev/loop0 -o loop /mnt/floppy

Before you want to restart bochs you must do this:

Don't forget to umount before

.

* If you want access to a hard disk image, you have to calculate the size of the first cylinder. This value is the offset argument for losetup.

For images created by bximage you must use the value 32256.
