The original 256k Dauphin Orasis v1 BIOS will not come up in Bochs; it seems 
to get stuck in a timing loop with the PIT.  That is what I was referring to.

With the 430tx LinuxBIOS and the ELF IDE payload booter, I was able to get a 
lovely kernel panic in Bochs, which is good.  Now I'm just trying to get 
these damned boards to enable the reflash of the BIOS so I can use /dev/bios 
and put LinuxBIOS there.
