Description:   Opened: 2004-05-28 09:53 0000
dosbox-0.58, 0.60, and 0.61 all failed to mount directories as they should.  In
the dosbox window, "mount c /home/monttyle/Documents/dosbox" is responded to with
stony silence.  "mount -cd" is also responded to with stony silence.  In fact,
even "mount eatflamingdeath" is responded to with stony silence - the command
doesn't appear to do a thing.

I tried emerging dosbox-cvs - which works yet is masked under amd64 - and works.

  mount c /home/monttyle/Documents/dosbox
gives
  Drive C is mounted as local directory /home/monttyle/Documents/dosbox

  mount -cd
gives
  CDROMS found:  1
   0. /dev/cdrom"

  mount eatflamingdeath
gives
  Usage MOUNT Drive-Letter Local-Directory
  So a MOUNT c c:\windows mounts windows directory as the C: drive in dosbox

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge dosbox-0.60
2. run
3. mount c /etc

Actual Results:  
mount responds to any and all commands with stony silence

Expected Results:  
It should have mounted a directory, or at least printed an error message

amd64 guys, please take a look.  works fine for x86.

It seems that dosbox isn't stable enough for amd64 quite yet so I've moved it
back to ~amd64.  Check the ChangeLog for details.  I'll mark these fixed for now.
