Dosemu is shipped with FreeDos, and FreeDos doesn't support lredir.
I suggest that you put a bootable dos (M$DOS, DR-Dos or Caldera's
OpenDos) disk on the drive and do

	# dos -A
	A:> sys a: c:

or (after having installed the mtools package)

	# cd /var/lib/dosemu
	# /usr/lib/dosemu/dexe/mkdexe hdimage.first -b /dev/hda1 -o noapp

and then restart dosemu as usual.
