I'm trying to install GeoWorks Ensemble 2.0 within DOSBox. I have five directories, each containing the contents of an install disk. I mounted the first disk as a floppy drive in DOSBox using these MOUNT parameters:
mount a c:\oldstuff\geos2d1 -t floppy -l Geos_1
where "Geos_1" is the volume label it will be expecting. I run the install program from the newly mounted A: drive, and it copies the first disk over, then asks for the second disk. I have no way of changing the mounts from within the install program. Fortunately, the Geoworks installer will let you escape to shell in the middle of installation. So I go there, do:
mount -u a
(unmounts drive A:)
mount a c:\oldstuff\geos2d2 -t floppy -l Geos_2
and go back into the installer. But the installer isn't convinced that I really have disk 2 in my floppy drive.
Any ideas as to why, or how I could work around this? Floppy installers for games and applications seem to be one area where DOSBox is rather rough going in the current version.
