Can somebody tell me how to get past this screen? I don't have a floppy drive. I'm using Dosbox 0.70 on dual core athlon 64 w/ 2G ram in gentoo linux.

If that directory contains the files from the floppy, you could try mounting it
with the "-t floppy" option. That should make dosbox think that it's a floppy.
You might have to install it, so it might not hurt to have another directory set as the c drive.

On the other hand it might be some form of copy protection. If so that could be a problem.

I've tried mounting with "-t floppy" which didn't work. I think it is some form of copy protection. But I've found lots of forums where people say it works fine. Even a video on youtube.

See if you can find an 0.72 version.
