I've just installed DOSEMU 0.66.7 on Slackware running kernel
2.0.30, and I can't get it to recognize my DOS partition using
any of the "tips" indicated in Dosemu-HOWTO, README.txt, or Quickstart.

MSDOS is mounted at /dos.  I tried putting the following line in
autoexec.bat, and btw, I do know about the autoexec.bat offset
situation.

     lredir d: linux\fs/dos

"Error 3a redirecting drive d: to LINUX\FS/DOS"

Then I removed that and put the following in config.sys....

     device=c:\emufs.sys /dos
     device=c:\ems.sys
     install=c:\lredir.exe d: /dos

After running DOS, D: reads..... IPL     SYS
                                 KERNEL  EXE
                                 EXITEMU COM
(This is not what's on my DOS partition)

I also tried reversing the first two lines, resulting in
both c: & d: showing the same files.

After each change I go back and create a new hdimage.

These are just the "traditional" methods recommended in
the various howto docs.  I've tried all sorts of other
creations with equal failure.

I *can* get it to recognize my DOS partition by using:
     disk { partition "/dev/hda1" }
in my /etc/dosemu.conf file.  But from what I understand,
this is not recommended while /dos is mounted in Linux.

Also, a side note, ezedit does not work when I'm in Dosemu,
it just beeps at me.

If someone has gotten something to work, could you please tell
me how, or better yet, send me your autoexec.bat, config.sys,
and /etc/dosemu.conf files.  Much obliged.

Can you tell me where these are?  I can't find a single document on
Dosemu, and I was running it last night without much success.  I can only
start it from a boot floppy, and it will only see a: and c: (a fake c:
that is part of the dosemu thing, not my real c: that has all my dos
files)  I have LINUX on the slave drive and DOS on the master (c: is dos,
d: is LINUX, but not really, LINUX dosen't identify them the same, ya'
know...)

: >I also tried reversing the first two lines, resulting in

Hmm.. I get d: invalid

: I remarked out the 'device=c:\emufs.sys /' line in config.sys and have the
: following in autoexec.bat:
: lredir d: linux\fs/dos
: This lets me access d: as my dos partition mounted as /dos (the hdimage
: is c:).

That kinda' lost me, uh, where did you find the Documents, and/or can you
run that by me a little slower?  (where are these files you edited?)

Any help would be great!
Thanks.

        So you haven't got dosemu-0.66.7/doc directory, all the docs are there.

 Bobbis - all is simple - in dosemu.conf(or what name this file has now)
        you print something as
        {/dev/hda all}
        {/dev/hdb all}

and in autoexec.bat
        lredir ...
