To enable CD-ROM support (includes MSCDEX) in Windows:

- mount d f:\ -t cdrom

in Linux:
|

- mount d /media/cdrom -t cdrom

In some cases you might want to use a different CD-ROM interface,
|

for example if CD audio does not work:

- mount d f:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 -noioctl
|

- mount d /path/to/cdrom -t cdrom

explanation: - d driveletter you will get in DOSBox (d is the best,

don't change it!)

be d:\ or e:\
