If you got that message, then I don't believe you were using the 
fd11src.iso (SHA1: af6209905d048ce3ac01683e1d22501a632d7491).

That ISO is Syslinux/Isolinux based and works fine with Rufus. I checked 
it again a couple minutes ago.

What ISO were you using exactly?

Also, please remember that Rufus can install a native bootable FreeDOS 
without the need for a source. Then you can just copy the DOS content 
you want to run from the USB.

IIRC, the one issue is if you try to run the installer from a FreeDOS 
bootable USB, as it expects to be run from a CD-ROM and you get 
something like "FreeDOS wasn't able to locate any disks to install 
FreeDOS from"...

The Rufus dude is subscribed to this mailing list (though he only checks 
it infrequently)... ;)
Also, unless I get verifiable reports that the official FreeDOS ISO or 
native Rufus FreeDOS installation have a problem, I will consider that 
FreeDOS is working correctly with Rufus.

By the way, the issue tracker for Rufus is at 
https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/issues.
