I use VMWare for FAI testing; it is much faster than bochs...
There are two annoying things about vmware:

1) non-free (but the workstation licenses aren't _so_ expensive)
2) at least the workstation version is a GUI program

As alternatives to VMWare I'd rather take a look at qemu than at bochs (speed
benefits).
