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. Anderson Ataides.
