I finally figured on how to make Dagerfall work for me. It seems that Daggerfall does not like frontends like a bunch of other games. So I had to do it this way.
mount c c:\oldgames -freesize 1000
mount d d:\ -t cdrom -ioctl -label Daggerfall
C:
cd dagger
C:\DAGGER\Dagger

Some games do not like shortcuts. You need to be precise in dosbox.

First of all, you don't need the CD. Download and install the free package and run it.

Secondly, you can achieve the same by copying one or two files from the CD to your hard disk (don't remember which files - just search the internet, it's described in several places, possibly even here) and editing the z.cfg file - you need a huge install. The first 3 lines should look like this ("d:\dagger" represents your Daggerfall directory):

type dfall_huge
path d:\dagger\
pathcd d:\dagger\

Then run it in DOSBOX with these commands:

mount c d:\dagger
c:
fall.exe z.cfg

That's really all.

By the way: You play Daggerfall 2.13, I assume? It increases the stability of Daggerfall a good deal, helps you to get out of the "void" bug (as described in the readme), etc.
