Boxer’s support for multi-CD games is currently very limited. However, you could try one of the following:

* Press ⌘R after swapping the CD: this will refresh the DOS filesystem to reflect any changes to files and folders.
* Quit the game and relaunch it with the new CD in the drive: then reload a saved game at the point where you were asked to change CDs.
* Import the first CD into the gamebox then copy the contents of the other CD(s) into the imported folder. The game may treat this combined CD as whichever disc it is looking for at the time.

Seems you gonna get trouble switching CDs in Boxer, maybe ask on the Boxer forums, after all they should know their stuff.

BTW, I would advise to run the game directly in dosbox without the use of a frontend on a #@#@#Mac for multiple CD games, works fine, really, and you can mount multiple CD images (pref:BIN/CUE) and switch between them.

Scroll a bit down for the @#@#Mac how to.
Takes you 2 minutes to set up dosbox without frontend, another 30 seconds to write a batch file to automount your CD images, and you'll avoid all those frontend inherent problems.
