Normally, you should use floppy and hard disk images (that run fine
under qemu, I don't have bochs). You should boot on floppy that contains
grub.
Don't forget that these images are very old and not up to date. I'm
currently working on FreeVMS 0.4.0
(http://www.freevms.net/trac/browser/) because actual monolithic kernel
is not easy maintainable. New system reuse all stuff made by Roar and
all but is written on top of a microkernel. Today, only boot process,
virtual memory and some parts of init process are done. I shall do a new
set of images when new kernel shall be able to launch init and load
drivers from memory to access to disk.
