In your /etc/dosemu.conf, there'll be a line like
$_hdimage = "bootimage"
telling DOSemu where to find it's drive images. I recommend you keep booting
from this image, and just add the location of your game. If it's sitting
in your windows partition mounted on /mnt/win, then it would look like
$hdimage = "bootimage /mnt/win"
and the win partition would be available as the D: drive in DOSemu. IIRC,
you can also use things like $HOME there.
A better solution would be to read through the DOSemu docs, and create a
new boot directory, and you can put anything you like there.
