Hello All,
I am using Dosbox. I use "imgmount c c.img" to mount my c drive. This goes well. Then I use "mount a d:\ -t floppy". This goes well too. Now I use "boot c.img -l c" to boot my c drive with DOS/V system. Boot goes well but there is no floppy drive. It says "Not found drive A" in japanese. I tried many things but no use so far. I coudn't successfully mount drive A (floppy drive) at the same time having c drive booted with DOS/V. Please help me and let me know what should I do to have both DOS/V on my c drive and have floppy drive (A:) too?

thx

if you boot, then only imgmount drives are available.
so you have to imgmount your floppy (e.g create an image and imgmount that)

But I need both dos/V and floppy. Dos/V does not fit inside a 1.4 MB floppy. What should I do?

you can mount your harddrive image along (as you did before)
so imgmount c c.img
imgmount a something.img -t floppy

or even use 2 harddrive images.

I have done this already but surprisingly drive A is not there and still says "drive A not found"

this is my dosbox conf:

[autoexec]
imgmount c c.img
imgmount a a.img -t floppy
boot c.img -l c

But still no use.
I have tested two hard drive with success but one hard drive and floppy (boot from hard drive) didn't work
I can have hard drive and floppy only if I boot from floppy but I need to boot from hard drive and have floppy too which didn't worked so far. Attached image clearly shows this:
