I press = when the Minix boot monitor appears, to boot Minix.It just
display like this:

I wrote a Minix on Bochs How-to article, available at
http://minix1.woodhull.com/faq/bxmxhowto.html.

It was written in 2004, when the current version was Bochs 2.1.1.
I used Bochs on Windows 2000.

Bochs has been around for quite a while, and some versions worked
with Minix, some did not. Minix 2.0.0 was distributed with the
then-current Bochs version in 1997, but some later versions of Bochs
were problematic. I had good results with Bochs 2.1.1 but I have not
worked with newer versions.
