Remember that DOS folder/names can only be 8 characters max, with no spaces. It's prolly being converted from "death rally" to "death~1" or "deathr~1" if DOSBox doesn't truncate at the space. try cd death~1 or cd deathr~1. If neither of those work then just rename the folder in windows (or whatever OS your using) to something like "drally".

I wonder why though... w98 command line supported dos games just with and long filenames...

Windows 98 supports long filenames, so maybe a bit of that functionality crept to its DOS as well...
But I recommend do not use long filenames in DOS at all even in W98. Normal DOS does not know long filenames. DOS application were designed for short filenames. In other words: it is probably W98 hack, which may or may not work for a DOS application.

Using Long Filenames

For MS-DOS version 6.22 and earlier, filenames cannot exceed eight characters and filename extensions cannot exceed three characters i length ...... With long filename support in Wndows 95, these 8.3 filename constraints are gone.

Win95 also came with the LFNBK (Long Filenames Backup) utility which could (temporarily) rename the long filenames to 8.3 names (the long names was stored in a LFNBK.DAT file) and vice versa.
