I've done this before and it works fine, but it won't work for what I'm trying to do. Perhaps referring to it as a "filesystem image" was misleading. It may be easier to think of it as a hard drive image (actually compact flash image) with the boot sector and partition information at the front of the file. I then want to use ltools (dos program) to read the linux filesystem located on partition 1 of the file. For ltools to work correctly in this situation, it must be able to access the image as if it's a real hard drive within dosemu. In bochs I was able to get it working with this line in the .bochsrc: ata0-slave: type=disk, path="$HOME/freedos_drive/cflash.img", cylinders=496, heads=4, spt=32 I just want something similiar to work in dosemu...
