You also may write down all the command in rc-file and run Bochs as following

bochs -f .bochsrc.32.obj -dbglog $loghome/$log.log -rc ./debug.rc

The rc-file may contain your debugger commands to execute like loading symbols, setting breakpoints or watching memory locations.

you may create a file in same directory you are running bochs and entries like(brkfile.txt): pb 0x7c00 lb 0x80100000

once you start bochs you may source file by typing: source brkfile

Better would be to compile bochs with internal debugger if you working on bootload. Internal debugger would come in handy specifically for bootloader or osdev

How about using magic breakpoint? Add magic_break: enabled=1 to your bochsrc file, and then add xchg bx, bx to where you wanna set breakpoint in the asm file.
