If I had to use a usb floppy drive, I would do as follows
a) create a "Dosbox" drive, that I would mount as D: ( for example, mine is E:\Dosbox\VirtualD ) (Z:\>MOUNT D yourpathtoyourVD )
b) mount my USB floppy as A: (Z:\>MOUNT A youdriveletter -t floppy)
c) from the dosbox UI, go to A: and launch the install, specifying as install drive D:\EOB
d) the game is then in the virtual D. If you check it from your Windows , you have to go see in the Virtual drive ( so in my case E:\Dosbox\VirtualD\EOB )
But actually, most people will simply create images of the floppies and mount that image as A: in dosbox ( with IMGMOUNT and the +... option ) : Z:\>IMGMOUNT A C:\Images\MyImage1.iso C:\Images\MyImage2.iso etc -t iso , allowing to cycle between the images with ctrl-F4

Yeah, the floppy ones are far more comfy, but the missus prefers HDD's. You can play the original at the internet archive:
https://archive.org/details/msdos_Eye_of_the_Beholder_1991
Buy it from GOG.
Or get the original files from a number of sources. No need to install them.

If talking out of your ass was an Olympic event he'd be on the cover of a WEATIES box.
Granted, the same could be said of me, but at least I admit it. :P

SOLUTION:
I got it working. I needed to set aside some memory as I mounted the c drive. (i.e. mount c c:\ -freesize 1024) Then, I realized that for some reason the install.exe was installing BACK onto the floppy drive. I mean it was creating folders on the floppy drive, and then dumping the data from disk 1 & 2 (not 3 & 4, mind you) onto those folders, so then I had half a game on those folders. Well, I deleted those folders and re-did the whole thing, installing it onto my C: drive once more without those pesky floppy folders and with plenty of memory to go around. Every thing worked! Ho-ray!
