When trying to run "Box", with an icon that proclaims "Box - The Adventure", I get an error: "Please insert volume BOX in any drive". I don't know how to get past this, and this happens whether I'm running
the "Box" file in the mounted folder OR running the one I extracted to
the RAM disk in Amiga itself.

BOX: is a drive label the game is looking for. Open a command shell and
enter
Assign >NIL: BOX: VOLUME:PATH/TO/BOX
Obviously, you need to adapt the VOLUME part. After that, run the game.
To automise this, you can add the command to your startup sequence (S:startup-sequence).

With Battlestar, for instance, the problem is quite another. I can't
find any executable file at all.

By default, Workbench only shows files which have an icon. You can
change that in the right-click menu: window -> show contents -> all
files.

I wish I could just extract .LHA files normally and repack them all as
DMS and then feed *that* as a bootable disk. <sigh>

You can do that, too. Simply create an empty disk image and unpack the contents of the archive onto it within the emulator. Of course, in a
case such as the first one, you have to set the disk label correctly.
