Port notes

To prepare bochs for use:

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

2) 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.

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

4) Now start bochs from the command line.
