I chose to do the path to use freedos in synthetic mode since I do not have a dos partition available. Now the next issue is the CDROM drive. I have a CD-RW drive but I typically do not use the ide-scsi module. I use the ide-cd module instead. So my cdrom appears at /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 (Gentoo 1.4 system). I placed a symbolic link to the drive in my .dosemu/drives directory: lrwxr-xr-x 1 storri wheel 10 Jan 14 20:42 d -> /dev/cdrom The Autoexec.emu and Config.emu mention the cdrom but I did not know where to place them. Are these files to replace autoexec.bat config.sys respectively?
