I need some help on this as I've failed to solve it on my own. For several
years I had three hard drives on my workstation and PC-DOS/7 was installed
in the mbr of /dev/hdb. Last September, I upgraded both the linux
distribution (from RH 6.2 to 7.3) and I replaced both /dev/hda and /dev/hdb
with a new, much larger drive that is designated /dev/hda. (The former
/dev/hdc is now /dev/hdb.)
All of pc-dos7 is in a vfat partition (/dos7) that is mounted on
/dev/hda10 (except when I want to run dosemu). The root of that filesystem
/contains all the system files:
4dos.com* dev/ ibmbio.com* mouse/ temp/
4dosswap.000* dos/ ibmdos.com* notes/ ttfonts/
autoexec.bat* exitemu.com* info/ recycled/ utils/
config.sys* f/ library/ ted.com*
However, when I try to invoke dosemu now, this is what I get (rather than
the c:/> prompt):
Linux DOS emulator 1.0.0.0 $Date: 2000/03/05 $
Last configured at Sun Mar 5 21:50:56 MET 2000 on linux
This is work in progress.

This is not a bootable disk. Please insert a bootable floppy and

I'm not sure how to modify /etc/dosemu.conf to reflect the presence of
ibmbio.com and ibmdos.com (as well as the command interpreter, 4dos.com) on
/dos7. I've tried figuring this out from the docs and by looking at the conf
file. But, I'm stymied.
In /etc/doesmu.conf I have this:
# $_hdimage = "hdimage.first /dev/hda10"
$_hdimage = "/dev/hda10"
But, dosemu won't load when /dos7 is mounted at that point.
I'd greatly appreciate being educated in what I need to do to resolve my
confusion and get dosemu running once again.
Thanks,
