Well, I've managed to figure out that the default, uncustomized config will read the contents of /usr/lib/dosemu/commands and that's what you see at the C:\
prompt. If I read the docs correctly (the QuickStart.gz in /usr/share/doc/dosemu) then I can make it behave like my actual DOS partition by either copying the
appropriate files (command.com, autoexec.bat, msdos.sys, config.sys, etc.) or
creating symlinks to them as long as that partition is mounted.
Trouble is, when I tried to run either /usr/lib/dosemu/setup-bootdir or
/usr/lib/dosemu/setup-hdimage, it tells me that it can't find what it considers a valid DOS partition.
Could this be because I have my Windows98 partition setup in cfdisk and /etc/fstab as vfat rather than dos? I'd hate to have to change my /etc/fstab to read the /dev/hda1 as dos, because I like being able to read the longer filenames.
Any way around this?
Have I forgotten something?
