Yes, but dosemu doesnt see the mounted partitions unless you set
up the symbolic links before starting up dos. The documentation
is self-admittedly not very helpful as they admit that they are
programmers and not technical writers. I still have to figure out
how to get the cd-rom to respond as a drive letter. The freedos
hdimage is a default and to get around it I believe that you have
to create your own hdimage.

Oh I dont have a problem with the shrinking of the hd, I already
converted 1/3 back to ext2 with fdisk/mkextfs. I have access to
parted and PQMAgic. The main problem is getting the stuff to work
under Linux/dosemu before I can recover those partitions.
