/dev/sd* on ubuntu

[Kévin REDON]

Hi,

Ubuntu 7.10 has dosemu 1.4.0.0
I modified the /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf :
$_hdimage = "drives/* /dev/sdb1"
sdb1 existe, it's a FAT32 and it's unmounter
but dosemu never mounts it (should be F:)

lredit f: LINUX\FS/dev/sdb1 does not report errors but writing are
reading files on it is impossible (not enough space/file does not exist)
the same if I use .dosemurc

Did a miss a config line ?

That should work if you have at least read access to /dev/sdb1. Check
your permissions.

That won't work. It works if you mount /dev/sdb1 and then lredir the
mountpoint though. That is indirect but safer.

I have the same problem, it seems that the hdimage method doesn't work.
Anyway, lredir is easier to manage (you can put such commands in the 
autoexec.bat).

Ok, this means /dev/sdb1 is recognized, as non-root too (it has the
right size where 1 MB=1024*1024 bytes), but autoexec.bat calls lredir:
the CDROM at E: overrides it.

You can fix that by either doing "lredir del e:" at the DOS prompt
which uncovers the CDROM so that E: is your /dev/sdb1.
Or you can, in Linux, create an empty "E:" drive:
  mkdir ~/.dosemu/drives/e
so that drives/* has three drives and /dev/sdb1 will be F: for real.
