Bochs BIOS, 1 cpu, $Revision: 1.1 $ $Date: 2002/11/25 02:07:53 $
[BOCHS BIOS VER:1.79]
[COMPILE DATE:Apr 20 2003 TIME:15:00:19]

DEVICE:0
ata0 master: PCHS=16383/16/63 translation=lba LCHS=1024/255/63
ata0 master: IBM-DTLA-307030 ATA-5 Hard-Disk (29314 MBytes)

PCI BIOS function 0x01
---------------------------------------------------
and the screen can show some strange character, sometimes are part of
original BIOS message.
I think the bochs BIOS has run.
