I'll note at the beginning that I was looking for a theme for my query but could not find a specific answer - is any way to lunch real cdrom drive under dosbox (win95)?
The final section of my dosbox.conf is as follows:

1[ide, primary]
2# enable: Enable IDE interface
3enable=false
4[ide, secondary]
5# enable: Enable IDE interface
6enable=false
7[ide, tertiary]
8# enable: Enable IDE interface
9enable=false
10[ide, quaternary]
11# enable: Enable IDE interface
12enable=false
13[autoexec]
14# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
15# You can put your MOUNT lines here.
16imgmount C "C:\Users\Grassini\Documents\DOSBox\win95.img"-size 512,63,16,1015 -t hdd -fs fat
17mount D "C:\Users\Grassini\Documents\DOSBox\
18mount E "Y:\" -t cdrom
19mount F "Z:\" -t cdrom
20d:
21cls
22d:\nc\nc.exe

After that when I want run win95 I have win95.bat with command:
boot -l c
and after that all my mount drivers stops working.
I have also tried enabled IDE interface but don't know if in the right way I did... despite attempts Win95 didn't saw the physical drives installed.

Those settings in your DOSBox.conf will not work with the standard version of DOSBox, but only with the highly experimental unofficial version available at DOSBox-X branch . You are probably better off just sticking with Daemon Tools.
