Line 43:
;Bochs wipes out its memory
:In Bochs, memory is always filled with zero until you (or the BIOS) put something else. On a normal PC, uninitialized memory tends to contain garbage (most often all-ones) or traces of previous executions. Check your pointers, initialize them, print your code on paper if necessary.
;Bochs does not properly emulate CPU cache/TLB
:Although Bochs does have these constructs, they do not work the same as regular CPU cache/TLB and do not change based on which CPU is being emulated. If you're not handling caching or TLB refreshes correctly, behavior may differ in Bochs vs. hardware (ie, it may work on Bochs but not on hardware, or vice versa).
;Bochs floppy has no errors
