no, the problem is that you don't have "readlink". But fortunately we can
read a link using "ls" and, that combined with "sed" gives us a the poor
man's readlink:

BOOT_DIR_PATH=`ls -l $HOME/.dosemu/drives/c | sed 's/.* \([^ ]*\)$/\1/'`/..
(line 245 of the script).
Please try this instead of my previous workaround.
