John,

I gave you a "quick" solution. Here I have Windows partition mounted at 
/mnt/windows. I have an entry in fstab to mount it at boot time. In my $HOME 
dosemu directory I have a link to /mnt/windows. That's my configuration.

About abnormal end of dosemu, let me tell you an experience I had here with 
dosemu:

Recetnly I had Linux kernel 2.2 installed and dosemu with system-wide 
installation (the one that has dosemu.conf in /etc). It was working ok.

The problem came when I installed kernel 2.4. I installed dosemu exactly like 
it was before upgrade but I got a serious problem: dosemu termitating 
abonormaly and surprise: Linux was ead too.

How did I know linux was dead? Because it did not ansered to keyboard or 
mouse or network requests, so... Some could say that dosemu was running as 
root, but I'm sure not.

The problem was solved when I downgraded to kernel 2.2. The curious is that 
in a computer, the system locked at dos startup and in another it got locked  
when I ran some programs like mem or xcopy.

I don't know if it is a problem with dos or linux or my linux 
distribution. I suggest you to check your kernel version and if possible try 
dosemu with kernel 2.2. If you solve without downgrading kernel version, 
please tell me how you did it.

Hope I can help you.
