Does the builtin dosemu.conf also contain $_hdimage = "drives/*"? The 
biggest problem I have, is that when I specify several disks, Dosemu 
always also adds those to it. When I specify two disks for example, they 
  both get c: and d:, but drives/c also gets e:.
If the builtin dosemu.conf indeed does contain drives/*, is there any 
way to fully override that?
