Uhhh, just that? Something's lacking. Hmmm, you normally mount a
partition to boot from.
How did you set it up to boot? We'll go from there. One hint - if you're
using the FreeDOS DOSC kernel as a test, it won't work. That's why
Edwin's using DR. DOS. The FreeDOS kernel still lacks the functionality
of the more mature DOSes to redirect I/O from other filesystems.
There are easier ways to boot a partition. Change "/dos/" to
"/mnt/windows/" (or your win partition) in the README.txt and
dosemu-HOWTO lines 705 and 547 respectively.

Yes Manny, it will. But first, (if you haven't yet), edit your
dosemu.conf file and change the following lines:
$_pci = (off) -> (on)
$_xms = (1024) -> (4096) or higher
$_dpmi = (off) -> (on)
$_speaker = "" -> "native"
$_sound = (off) -> (on)
Make sure to have a copy of exitemu.com in your windows root dir c:\
