I just downloaded Updated 1.0 Testing CD from www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.0-Testing/fdbasecd.iso and tried to install it in qemu using singlestepping but it didn't work.
Here are some (hopefully relevant) parts of the installing process: Lines starting with "#" are my comments.
