Hi Myles,

Just for the fun of it I tried installing XP with the old Bochs BIOS and then booting it with SeaBIOS. It installs fine, then can't boot with either BIOS. With SeaBIOS, it blue screens with the same message as the install CD. Here's the log:
The log looks like a CD boot log - was it the same for the hd boot?
A couple of notes:
A "STOP: 0x0000007B" message is an INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error according to:

I did notice that the last log message always seems to be:
fail floppy_13XX:709(00000001): a=00001507 b=00000003 c=0000000f d=00065000 si=00005026 di=00000000 ds=00001a49 es=0000504a ip=000055be cs=00001000 f=00000212 r=00000c02
you could try enabling the CONFIG_FLOPPY_SUPPORT on your machine. If that doesn't work, you could try just enabling a floppy_1315() handler that always sets regs->ah=0 and calls set_success().
Another thing to try would be to set DEBUG_HDL_13 and DEBUG_HDL_40 to 1 so that you see every call into the bios disk handlers.
BTW, what are you using to log the output from serial? If something is sending backspaces - is there a way to capture that?
Also, you reported that Bochs 1.186 is working with ADLO. Does a more recent version of Bochs also work? The seabios code is basically in synch with the latest bochs (v1.211).
I wish there was more help I could give; unfortunately I'm seeing a totally different set of failures here. :-(
