Basically, MOUNT allows you to connect real hardware to DOSBox's "emulated"
PC. So MOUNT C C:\ tells DOSBox to use your real C: drive as drive C: in
DosBox. It also allows you to change the drive's letter identification for
DOSBox. It also allows you to change the drive's letter identification for
programs that demand specific drive letters.

IMGMOUNT
A utility to mount disk images and CD-ROM images in DOSBox.
CD-ROM: either iso or cue/bin is supported:
IMGMOUNT DRIVE [imagefile] -t [image_type] -fs [image_format] -size [sectorsbytesize, sectorsperhead, heads, cylinders]
IMGMOUNT DRIVE [imagefile] -t [image_type] -fs [image_format]
-size [sectorsbytesize, sectorsperhead, heads, cylinders]
imagefile
location of the image files to mount in DosBox. Path is relative to a mount
point already inside DosBox.
location of the image files to mount in DOSBox. Path is relative to
a mount point already inside DOSBox. CD-ROM images can be mounted
directly as well (path on the host).
-t
The following are valid image types:
floppy: Specifies a floppy image or images. DosBox will automatically identify the disk geometry (i.e, 360K
1.2MB, 720K, 1.44MB, etc.)
iso: Specifies a CD-ROM iso image. The geometry is automatic and set for this size.
hdd: Specifies a harddrive image. The proper CHS geometry must be set for this to work.

hdd: Specifies a harddrive image. The proper CHS geometry

-fs
The following are valid file system formats:
iso: Specifies the ISO 9660 CD-ROM format.
fat: Specifies the image uses the FAT file system. DosBox will attempt to mount this image as a drive
in DosBox and make the files available from inside DosBox.
none: DosBox will make no attempt to read the file system on the disk. This is useful if one needs to
format it or one wants to boot off of the disk using the BOOT command. When using the "none" file
system, one must specify the drive number (2 or 3, where 2 = master, 3 = slave) rather than a drive
letter. For example, to mount a 70MB image as the slave drive device, one would type:
"imgmount 3 d:\test.img -size 512,63,16,142 -fs none" (without the quotes) Compare this with a mount to
read the drive in DosBox, which would read as: "imgmount e: d:\test.img -size 512,63,16,142"

An example of CD-ROM images:

2. mount d /tmp/myiso.iso -t iso
BOOT
Boot will start floppy images or hard disk images independent of the operating system emulation offered by
DosBox. This will allow you to play booter floppies or boot to other operating systems inside DosBox.

BOOT [diskimg1.img diskimg2.img .. diskimgN.img] [-l driveletter]
diskimgN.img
This can be any number of floppy disk images one wants mounted after DosBox boots the specified drive letter.
To swap between images, one hits CTRL+F4 to swap out the current disk and swap in the next disk in the list. Once
the last disk in the list is swapped out, the list loops back to the beginning.

[-l driveletter]
This parameter allows one to specify the drive to boot from. The default is the A drive, the floppy drive. One
can also boot off of a hard drive image mounted as master by specifying "-l C" without the quotes, or the drive

IPX
All of the IPX networking is managed through the internal DosBox program
IPXNET. For help on the IPX networking from inside DosBox, type “IPXNET HELP”
(without quotes) and the program will list out the commands and relevant
documentation.
You need to enable IPX networking in the configuration file of DOSBox.
With regard to actually setting up a network, one system needs to be the server.
To set this up, in a DosBox section, one should type “IPXNET STARTSERVER”
(without the quotes). The server DosBox session will automatically add itself
to the virtual IPX network. In turn, for every other computer that should be
part of the virtual IPX network, youll need to type “IPXNET CONNECT
<computer host name or IP>”. For example, if your server is at bob.dosbox.com,
you would type “IPXNET CONNECT bob.dosbox.com” on every non-server system.

IPXNET CONNECT
IPXNET CONNECT opens a connection to an IPX tunneling server
running on another DosBox session. The "address" parameter specifies
the IP address or host name of the server computer. One can also
specify the UDP port to use. By default IPXNET uses port 213, the
assigned IANA port for IPX tunneling, for its connection.
