Hi folks,
Has anyone had any experience with Bochs and the built-in debugger?
I would like to debug a program but don't know how to get the debugger to stop at the point the program is about to be executed.
Thanks for your help

This seems to give some information:

Searching a bit more, I also found this:

Perhaps enough to get starting? It seems vbreak/lbreak is what you're searching for?
Although the main issue is figuring out what segment your program is running on, since it might be dynamically allocated(although it might be unchanging when called in a defined order, e.g. directly after booting to the MS-DOS prompt and executing it. Then, each time after booting and executing it it will be the same(assuming nothing else changes calling the program).

I think what I may do (based on what you've said) is construct a routine that outputs the segment address to the terminal and assume that's where it'll be every time I run the emulator. Does anyone have any thoughts on that?
