Changing CD's in dosbox proves to be a problem for me. whenever I have to swap CD's dosbox starts to complain about the previous cd not being in the drive.
What can be done about this?
Try RESCAN (if you aren't running a game).
The problem happens when a game asks to insert a new disk.
Why not mount all the CD's you need externally, using daemon tools or something, and then mount each of the ones you'll need inside dosbox as well. Then the game will (possibly, some games this works for) search the other cd drives and will find the next cd without needing to swap.
Hope this helps
Dont games only re-scan the cdrom drive that the previous cd was in? Thats what I`ve always assumed.

In my experience, some actually search all of the other available cddrives as well.

I can't think of one single DOS program that does that.
Simulating a floppy disk swap would also be desirable. Adventure Construction Set brought me to this, and alas, I cannot play it. 😀
@Ayar: It is possible to switch floppies in DOSBOX (not in 0.61, use CVS or wait for 0.62).
See the following thread (CANADACOW explaines it for installing Windows, but it applies to any multi floppy program):
installing windows 3.11 (or any multiple floppy prog)
