What linux distro and version are you using?   What version of bochs is
causing the issue. I'll look into it.

Summary: IA-32 PC emulator
Description:
 Bochs is a highly portable free IA-32 (x86) PC emulator written in C++,
that
 runs on most popular platforms. It includes emulation of the Intel x86
CPU,
 common I/O devices, and a custom BIOS.
 .
 Bochs is capable of running most operating systems inside the emulation
 including GNU, GNU/Linux, *BSD, FreeDOS, MSDOS and Windows 95/NT.

The description in ubuntu 2.2.6-2 is different then the description in
your version of bochs.
