Add the lines to the autoexec section of dosbox's configuration file.

If you want multiple game configurations, just create new copies of the configuration file and create shortcuts to dosbox that start dosbox with "-conf yourconfig.conf" command line switch.

Also, check out README.TXT.

Q: Do I always have to type these commands? Automation?
A: In the DOSBox configuration file is an [autoexec] section. The commands
present there are run when DOSBox starts, so you can use this section
for the mounting.

i guess u mean this. where is that DOSBox configuration file?

Assuming Windows: start->programs->dosbox-0.73->configuration->edit configuration
