I installed dosemu by following the instructions in
/usr/doc/dosemu/QuickStart.gz and it works not to bad. Did you do the
following? (from QuickStart)

- Reboot Linux.  Run 'dos -A'.  After a short pause, the system should
  come up.  Try "dir c:" which should list the files on the harddrive
  distribution image.  If that works, run: "fdisk /mbr" and "sys c:".
  Exit dos by running "c:\exitemu".  If you have problems, hold down the
  <ctrl> and <alt> buttons simultaneously while pressing <pgdn>.
  (<ctrl><alt><pgdn> will automatically exit dosemu.)

Good luck.
