I don't believe FD1.1 supports what you're looking for. You need your BIOS to support special "USB HDD as DOS drive emulation" or maybe you can read up on this FreeDOS USB technote [0]. Some vintage BIOSes only had EDD 1.1 [1]. If you were lucky you had EDD 3.0 [2]. Apparently, there was even a 4.0 spec produced [3]. I'm not sure what level of support the kernel, fdisk, and sys have but they do have some since FAT32 was integrated. Try it and see if you get lucky.
