The problem I find with Bochs is that it seems to require an underlying 
OS.  Ideally, I would like to avoid that part, though I may not have 
much choice considering that memory management is an issue.  Do you know 
if bochs can be invoked without an X server?  I need it to be able to 
run without much.
