Thanks!

The syntax is a little different. Instead of C:\blah\blah it'll be /blah/blah for something on your boot drive. For example say something's on your desktop you wanna mount, it'd be: /Users/yourusername/Desktop/game or for an example from my setup, /Users/neowolf/Documents/DOSBox/c
Also keep in mind that this is (probably) case sensitive. Meaning you need to type the folder name exactly as it is caps and all.
It's not case sensitive on my machine. OSX.4.2.
So it isn't, that makes life simpler! 🤣
I'd assumed it was since most *nix ports tend to be.
FYI" OSX supports two different filesystems, one is case-sensitive (UFS), the other one is not (HFS+). HFS+ is usually used by default.
Actually OS X goes a bit further with Tiger. There's a case sensitive version of HFS+ that's an option now too. However using that or UFS, the other case sensitive file system can cause problems in apps, especially older carbon ports. (Blizzard's games for example have issues~) Still, typically *nix ports, especially while still on the command line tend to function case sensitively.
