The first drive you define in dosemu.conf for $_hdimage is C:, the 2nd is D:,
etc.. Issue a umount /dev/hda? (where ?=no. like 1 for C:) for each drive you
have mounted under Linux that you're going to use in DosEmu. They can't be in
both places.
My dosemu.conf definition for drives is:
$_hdimage = "hdimage.DOS622 /dev/hda5 /dev/hda6 /dev/cdrom:ro"
| C: 1GB D: 2GB E: 2GB F: (CD-Rom)
Notes: hdimage.DOS622 is a 50MB virtual drive (File)
This all works great using dosemu v1.00 (just don't try
booting direct from the C: partition, it's not working
(and not exactly recommended either) in v1.00.
The D: drive contains my Wildcat! BBS v4.20SL for DOS, and it ran perfectly the
first time I brought it Online, after getting dosemu configured properly.
