5.2. Search order for the configuration file

If no configuration file is specified on the command line and config file loading is not disabled, Bochs searches for a default configuration file. This is the search order:

1. .bochsrc in the current directory

2. bochsrc in the current directory

3. bochsrc.txt in the current directory

4. (win32 only) bochsrc.bxrc in the current directory

5. (Unix only) .bochsrc in the user's home directory

6. (Unix only) bochsrc in the /etc directory
