Hi,
I believe it's because DragonFly ISO's use "Non-Emulated El-Torito"
boot, like FreeBSD 5.x, which bochs can't handle. FreeBSD 4.x uses
"Emulated El-Torito" boot, which it can.
One of the bochs pages claims that they can handle non-emulated El
Torito, and that they'd like to be informed of cases where it doesn't
work, but I haven't had the time to prod them about this.
