I tried "-cdrom /dev/disk1" with a FreeDOS image mounted on "C:" and  
the "dir" command fails on the "D:" unit (ISO9660 CD in the drive). The  
"dir" command also fails on "D:" when I mount an image with "-hdb  
<image>". The only way I can mount an image on "D:" is to use "-cdrom  
<image>".

Am I doing something wrong ?
