The initial drive isn't made to do much other than hold the basic progams
that come with dosemu.
To create a disk image, you need to use dd to create an image, and create
it 128 bytes larger than you want. Then you make a dosemu header, and
tack it over the first 128 bytes. I don't know if the utils come with
redhat, but they come in the main dosemu tree.
Simply so something like this (to make a 504meg 'disk'):
# dd if=/dev/zero of=diskimage bs=128 count=4128768
# mkhdimage -h 16 -s 63 -c 1024 > header
# dd if=header of=diskimage bs=128 conv=notrunc
# rm header
# sync
This will create a 504meg disk image, with a header at the start so that
dosemu will show it as having 1024 cylinders, 16 heads, and 63 spt. The
'count=...' bit is simply ((1024*63*16)*4)+1.
