1) Will DOSBox ever support booting from an ISO CD image?
2) If not, will it ever allow mounting an ISO as driver number X similar to http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/IMGMOUNT#Bootable_ … ard_disk_images?
I tried for an hour or two on DOSBox 0.72, but didn't succeed.
What EXACTLY are you trying to do?
What do you want DOSBox to do?
Explain in English with no missing words or concepts please.
1. unlikely
2. dunno what it takes

How to ask questions the smart way!
DOSBox can already boot HDD or FDD images. Now I want it to boot a bootable ISO image containing a separate OS.
If DOSBox will never support booting an ISO image directly, it would be nice to make the ISO available as drive number 2 or 3 (primary master/slave). Then I could boot a floppy and let this floppy detect this virtual CD-ROM drive (image).
Sorry for the missing word "booting" in my first posting.
use bochs
I already have Bochs/QEMU, but I wanted another alternative.
DosBox is for playing games, I don't know of any games that require you to boot from a cd 😦
Then my 2nd idea would be enough. 😉
Yeh you just need to implement it 😉
