I think there's a slight mixup in terminology here.  The thing Steven 
refers to is actually called the "monitor" or "qemu monitor."

I have no experience with specifying a mounted partition as a qemu disk 
such as Steven has directed, but if you were using unmounted partitions 
you would start qemu with something like:

------------------------------------------------------------
qemu -fda dos.img -hdb fat:/hd -hdc /dev/hda3 -hdd /dev/hda4
------------------------------------------------------------

Note that the -hdb fat:/hd is Steven's specification: I never tried that, 
but trust that he knows what he's talking about (and probably works with 
his own DOS partition[s] that way).  I'm not sure why he put -hdb rather 
than -hda, either.  But it does make sense that if you've only specified 
one hard drive image to qemu and booted DOS with it, DOS will see the only 
HD as c:\ .
