ok, the below:

works if you "cp dosemu.bin /usr/bin/dos" and run /usr/bin/dos.
running dosemu.bin directly like this means that the old /var/lib/dosemu is 
used.

if you don't want this hack and want to run dosemu the "1.0.2 way", just put 
symlinks in your home folder (to your drives) and run dosemu -home, I think.

alternatively to all of these ways of accessing your drives, use lredir <drive 
name:> <linux mount point>. this is the best way of doing imo.
