Looks like the readlink utility isn't as standard as I assumed it to be --
newer distributions have it in coreutils (standard), Debain has had it for
a long time ind debianutils, but other distributions would only have it as
part of teTeX.

What distribution are you using?

try to replace the line
BOOT_DIR_PATH=`readlink $HOME/.dosemu/drives/c`/..
in the shell script named "dosemu" with the line
BOOT_DIR_PATH=`dirname $0`

I'll think about a better workaround.
