In the start menu for dosbox you should find a DOSox.conf
There are several items that you can modify, search for the
core=normal one and change it to core=dynamic or core=full
and test the game again.

First, put all mount commands (cdrom if available, and the emulated
harddisk) into the autoexec-section of dosbox. Should look like
[autoexec]
mount c c:\games
mount d f:\ -t cdrom

when c:\games is a directory on your harddisk that contains the dos games,
and will be the place you install new games to.

Then reinstall daggerfall, and try again.

You can reinstall it into a different directory, when the game is fully
working you might be able to transfer the savegames.
