Is it possible to use the normal CD Rom MOUNT command (using directories instead of images) for games with multiple CDs and switch with CTRL+F4, or is the image way required?

Well, it doesn't seem to work, at least not at command prompt. Haven't tried with an actual game.

Mounting the folder will treat the folder as a CD. You'll then have a CD of images that your DOS game won't know how to make use of.

If you just want to avoid the additional typing, use the [autoexec] section of dosbox-0.73.conf.txt.
