Hello John,

I'm supose that you're using default settings and the dosemu dir was created 
inside your $HOME directory.

Try this:
Step 1:
create a subdirectory in your freedos directory and mount your Windows 
partition to it like:
cd $HOME/dosemu
mkdir windows
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 $HOME/dosemu/windows

Step 2:
edit your dosemu.conf that is in conf subdirectory and change line $hd_image 
to "windows". After this your line at dosemu.conf should look like this:
$_hdimage = "windows"

Step 3:
run dosemu.

I use this configuration here and works well running a Clipper application 
acessing database.

Hope this can help you.
Anderson Ataides.
