ochs has a problem which can't run minix3 operating system from cdrom ,
I don't know why ?
here is a snapshot which is captured when I start it from bochs :

Looking for boot CD. This may take a minute.
Please ignore any error messages.
bad super block on /dev/c0d0p1 or CDROM: read block 2048 failed
No CD found
"bad super block on /dev/c0dop1 ": what is mean?
and I have verified its correctness of .iso file ,because the problem
don't turn up when I
install it in the VMWARE WORKSTATION .
the content of the bochs's boot configure file bochsrc.txt as
follows:
romimage: file=$BXSHARE\BIOS-bochs-latest, address=0xf0000
cpu: count=1, ips=10000000

end ,that is all for configure file
here is my setup file start.bat which is a batch file with suffix name
.bat as follows:
cd "C:\Program Files\Bochs-2.2.6\minix"
..\bochs.exe -q -f bochsrc.txt
attention:where "C:\Program Files\Bochs-2.2.6 " is the install
directoty of bochs
and I make a new directory minix ,and then I place two files onto minix
directory which are
bochsrc.txt and start.bat ,respectively.
when I double click the start.bat file ,it can start bochs software.
above is all problem which I have encountered ,and what I have done for
it.
can you make a solution to it ?(why it can't start up from cdrom,and
how I can configure my file )

thanks!
I unfortunately had the same problem, and frustrated by a night of searching & nothing working, i decided to switch to Qemu. Now i'll note this disclaimer, i'm not implying either is better than the other, Qemu just happened to work correctly the first time, and has been very pleasent to use. (Note: A HUGE plus for me w/ Qemu is the fact i didn't have to build a cryptic config file) I'm not sure if you /can/ switch to Qemu, if so this is what i did to get it going:
I downloaded the ISO & placed it in a special directory. Then i used the command:
qemu-img create minix3.img 1024M
(NOTE: For some reason it doesn't like its G, for gigabyte, suffix very much, so i just used that for a 1GB image (i didn't want to run out of space while i played w/ Minix))
Then to install to your new minix image:
qemu -boot d -cdrom "IDE-3.1.2a.iso" -hda "minix3.img" -m 64 -localtime
Now there are a lot of options i'll let you read the help for those, but these are your basic ones to get it going. For the '-boot' parameter, 'a' is floppy, 'c' is harddrive, 'd' is cdrom (for which device to boot first).
The next 2 should be self explanatory, the '-m' parameter is how much memory you want to use, and '-localtime' uses your host OS' time in minix. Follow the regular on screen instructions to install. Once that's complete, what i did was issued a 'shutdown' command, followed by 'off' at the boot monitor, so i could start from the new image & verify it worked. Now to boot the new image, simply use:
qemu -boot c -cdrom "IDE-3.1.2a.iso" -hda "minix3.img" -m 64 -localtime
(Notice the '-boot' option now specifies my "harddrive" as the first boot device) I leave the ISO on there for the CD-ROM because once you're back in Minix, you can issue the 'packman' command & it'll install all your fancy helper utilities.
And that should be it, it's what i've used /several/ times, and it's worked w/o problem. As i said you may not be able to switch, but if you can i'd highly recommend it. I use Qemu on both my Windows XP & FreeBSD computers, it's very easy to use, seems very efficient, etc...
Happy Minix'ing,
FMorales...
(Note: For networking, i chose option '4' for my network card. Once all that was done & i was booted up, i issued the 'shutdown' command to get to the boot monitor. There you need to type: qemu_pci = 1 , then you can type: save , to save that 'variable' for later use. Then just type 'boot' to boot the default image. I know i had A LOT of grief trying to get networking to work, and it was just that simple. Hope it helps)
