Can't mount a folder on a dos guest on Ubuntu 22.04 host.

I am supposed to cut and paste this into a console, presumable the command line
on dos

mkdir /tmp/shared0; mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio shared0 /tmp/shared0
-o version=9p2000.L,posixacl,cache=mmap

but I can't cut and paste it. When I type it out and hit enter I get.

Invalid switch - /TMP

First I would like to be able to cut and paste but control c control v doesn't work. I would also like to know why I am getting the invalid switch error.

No you paste that into the virtual machine console (which you might not be able to access, there's some issue with serial0 being assigned to Ctrl+Alt+2 instead of compatmonitor0)

Anyways, if you can get the virtual machine control console up, you'd put it in there. Not in DOS, DOS is the guest and can't control things like that.
