You can manipulate initdisk.c, in particular BIOS_nrdrives() and the loops from 0 to nHardDisk to make FreeDOS ignore all your harddisks. For compilation, you should have NASM, UPX and the OpenWatcom C compiler. A tiny distro of the latter should be on http://rugxulo.googlepages.com/ somewhere... :-). You can get the current sources via SVN, of download the 2038 zip if a somewhat older kernel is acceptable for you.
