For those who toiled over figuring out the fix, it dawned on me that older computers regular people used only had one CD-ROM drive. So, please apply the following:

1. Mount the install directory:
mount c {install_directory}
The name for "install_directory" cannot be longer than 8 letters or contain any spaces in the name. Just remove them. If it is, take the first 6 letters, then end it with ~1. For example:
Mount c c:\KyrandiaOne
--Becomes--
Mount c c:\Kyrand~1

2. Mount the source ISO.
imgmount d {ISO_path} -t cdrom
If the name of the ISO is longer than 6 letters, see step 1. If the location of the ISO has spaces, just remove them. Also, if any folder in the "ISO_path" is longer than 8 characters, replace it with ~1. For example
imgmount d c:\oldmsdosgames\kyrandiaone.iso -t cdrom
--becomes--
imgmount d c:\oldmsd~1\kyrand~1.iso -t cdrom

3. Go to drive d and run install.exe.

4. Select just plain old "sound blaster".

5. When back at the prompt, type hofcd. should be good to go.

This fix is for those who use DosBox.

Also, the fix is in the instructions you have to follow, numbered 1-5.
