I had problems with this too. The bochs package in Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) is missing a couple of things. I'll start from scratch on how to install it. You must have the universe repository enabled.

1. sudo apt-get install bochs bochs-x bochs-sdl bochs-svga bochsbios bximage vgabios
2. Download the following file... http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/vgabios/vgabios/VGABIOS-lgpl-latest.bin?rev=HEAD
3. Save the file as "/usr/share/bochs/VGABIOS-lgpl-latest". Notice I removed the .bin part.
4. Download and test a disk image from http://bochs.sourceforge.net/diskimages.html
5. cd into the images directory and run "bochs". Everything should work.

Note: Depending on your system and the disk image you download, you may need to adjust your IPS and VGA_UPDATE_INTERVAL or it will lag to death. See the Bochs documentation for more information at http://bochs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/topper.pl?name=New+Bochs+Documentation&url=http://bochs.sourceforge.net/doc/docbook
