i never used w95 in dosbox, but usualy win95 loads cdrom the same way as dos, with .sys driver in config.sys and mscdex.exe in autoexec.bat.

I would try to run sysedit from w95 and check whats in there, but maybe sum1 will have a more direct fix to give you.

DOSBox has no IDE support so therefore no CDROM support.

If you use Windows95B and above you can use Daemon Tools for virtual cdrom support.

Yeah when executing the boot command, mountings are lost; by design.
