I'm pretty sure floppy disks never used the ISO9660 file system

So I can't make it more convenient to load except for using frontends?
Thanks

I want to start the floppy image as if it is in a local drive
Like when abc.img must be started by boot "CD\" -t iso
Now I'd like to mount it onto J drive, so that it is mounted automatically everytime I run dosbox.

Nothing has ever been started this way.

How to mount a floppy image

IMGMOUNT A "C:\<path>\<disk.img>" -t floppy

when It was started like this before?

Can you elaborate on what you did before, exact step by step, and what happens when you try it again?

Err... Not clear on why you want it as J but to mount every time you can add the mounting command to the [autoexec] section of the conf file.

imgmount a E:\games\flight\fsim1.img -t floppy

I am afraid there is no working.
fsim1.img is surely working by simply booting. But it doesn't mount to drive a of dosbox.
Thanks

I put the line into the autoexec section of dosbox.conf.
But when dosbox is started, I type 'mount', drive a is not listed.

I believe so. Read-only, Can I unzip it and rezip it back?
Thanks

Actually, as someone else figured out, you might be trying to mount the floppy image of MS FS1 and that is a booter game. Many of those don't have a valid file system to mount...

SERIOUSLY: Please provide as much INFORMATIONS as possible. Why should we take part in your guessing games? I refuse to answer yur posts from now on...

unzip/rezip it? seriously? It's an image NOT an archive...

Looking at the original post it is obviously a booter game.

type this

boot E:\games\flight\fsim1.img -l a:
