you don't even need global.conf -- global.conf syntax also works in
dosemu.conf.
$_hdimage = ""
disk {wholedisk "/dev/hda"}
in dosemu.conf (or root's ~/.dosemurc if root runs dosemu) does
the job. Though I had to use $_vbootfloppy (a floppy image) to boot, since
DOSEMU doesn't like GRUB in the MBR (tries to go to protected mode
itself).
It was never really removed, just never supported in the new dosemu.conf
syntax (Feb 98, 0.97.2, over two years before I was involved). But right
now there isn't much of a reason anymore; as it used to be dosemu was
suid-root by default and any user could get the wholedisk (depending on
dosemu.users), now it solely depends on the permissions of /dev/hda.
So I'm not opposed to it, just too lazy to add the support to dosemu.conf
;)
