OSKIT and Bochs

Hi,

I have just installed OSKIT on my Redhat 7.0 linux workstation and I wanted
to try out a few of the kernel examples, but without having to reboot my
workstation every time I want to try a new kernel. So I thought about using
bochs (as it is free unlike vmware). Unfortunately, it seems that oskit
kernels need a boot loader like grub to work, and bochs doesn't provide
any. One solution would be to install linux and grub within bochs and then
use that as a development platform, but to me that sounds a bit
complicated. Is there any way I could configure oskit to give me a kernel
that can be booted from without the help of a multi bootloader like grub?

Thank you very much for your answers and please, keep up the good work, you
are taking the pain out of os development.
Regards,
