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.
