I've been trying to get Kingdom 2 (Shadoan) working for a while, but the sound kept stuttering and the game kept freezing, so I tried it in DOSBox. Every time I try to play it on DOSBox, it says Invalid CD Volume Lable.

Did you provide a valid label when mounting CD drive?
Write down all exact commands used in DOSBox.

mount c c:\
mount d d:\
c:
cd intrplay\shadoan
shad
I also tried running Setup in the same folder, but it said that the CD wasn't there. The exact message was Please run this utility with the Shadoan CD in your CD-Rom Drive. Then I typed
d:
dir
And it found the CD and all of it's files.
mount d d:\ -t cdrom -label <label>
for the CD-ROM.

OK, I followed those instructions, and got the game working.
However, Shadoan is a 2-CD game, and when I got to the second CD, it asked for it and wouldn't accept it.
I tried typing mount d d:\ -t cdrom -label SHADOAN2 and followed the steps to get to the game on the c:\, but it said "You must start with CD 1 in the drive."
I also tried mounting d:\ as SHADOAN1 and mounting e:\ as SHADOAN2, but it will only read from my D:\ drive.
CTRL-F4 after swapping CDs. READ THE README (It's all there).

Thank you. All problems solved. 😁 Time to get to work on getting the rest of our old games to work...
