NAME
bximage - Interactive Disk Image Creator for Bochs
SYNOPSIS
bximage [options] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
Bximage is an easy to use console based tool for creating disk
images, particularly for use with Bochs. It is completely
interactive if no command line arguments are used. It can be
switched to a non-interactive mode if all required parameters are given
in the command line.
OPTIONS
When you run bximage without one of the following options, it will
appear in interactive mode and ask for all required parameters
to create an image.
-fd Create a floppy image.
-hd Create a hard disk image.
-mode=...
Image mode (for hard disks only - see the bochsrc sample for
supported options).
-size=...
Image size in megabytes (e.g. 1.44 for floppy image, 10 for hard
disk image).
-q Quiet mode (don’t prompt for user input). Without this option
bximage uses the command line parameters as defaults for the
interactive mode. If this option is given and one of the
required parameters is missing, bximage will fall back to
interactive mode.
--help Print a summary of the command line options for bximage and
exit.
The filename parameter specifies the name of the image to be created.
