Create a folder somewhere, for example, in the root of the REAL C: drive. Call it "zoidberg", why not?

1mount c: c:\zoidberg

I created a folder named C:\dosbox\zoidberg\zoid\berg\whynot\bite\my\shiny\metal\daffodil\clamps\bender\fry\nibbler

1mount l: c:\dosbox\zoidberg\zoid\berg\whynot\bite\my\shiny\metal\daffodil\clamps\bender\fry\nibbler

and it works:

Of course, if the folder doesn't exist, it'll fail (you can see that in the screenshot).

By the way, you posted in the DOS forum, not the DOSBox forum. The DOSBox forum is here: DOSBox

I thought the command was

1mount c <the_path>

without the colon on the first c.

With or without. Either way works in DOSBox 0.74. It's right there in the image I posted.

It's also best to qualify the path, using the \ or even the drive letters. Obviously, if you have a folder with the same name on two different drives, use the fully-qualified path to be sure you're pointing to the right folder.

It also understands relative paths

You can also mount your entire C: (or any other drive) as a drive in DOSBox, but it's not recommended. It will warn you that it's not, but will still allow it.

Moved.
