In dosbox it says CDROM isnt mounted even though I did mount it according to instructions.
assuming you got to the point of launching sier.exe, the game says it can't locate game's resource files (in ye olde times they'd be read from a cd for a game of that size), not that cdrom isn't mounted in dosbox.

the version here is preinstalled, and has paths to resource files set in resource.cfg file. said paths need to match your dosbox drive mounting.

the simplest solution if you don't need to acquire dos/dosbox skills for anything is to open resource.cfg in notepad or other text editor, and change all paths from beginning with
Code:
c:\lsl7dos\
to beginning with
Code:
.\
the dot will make the game look for resources in its own directory instead of at the fixed path.
then you just drag sier.exe on dosbox launcher/shortcut to automatically mount its directory and run the exe.

alternatively, in this case you can also drag and drop the folder that contains the lsl7dos folder on dosbox launcher to automatically mount it (the drive will be c:\, and there will be lsl7dos folder inside to match with what's in the config), then type and run
Code:
cd lsl7dos
(cd is change directory command, not cdrom)
and
Code:
sier
