I was not able to do that on my laptop (running Debian) years ago in any
satisfactory way, that is why I started using VirtualBox...
It works fine with dosemu
And it works fine booting Freedos Clean directly on VirtualBox too

Using MEMDISK in GRUB to boot FREEDOS from the local hard drive on
later model machines is what I am getting from you as a solution to
boot FreeDOS from a local Harddrive on a laptop. If you have any other
solutions that would allow me to boot FreeDOS from a Hard Drive I
would be interested in learning. Once again, I just want to boot
FreeDOS from my Harddrive on a Centrino or Later model PC. I have
linux on this PC. I do not want to share any memory with another
Operating System. This is called 'Booting Native' as I understand
terminology. I want to boot FreeDos Native and then maybe, just maybe,
put Linux in a DOS Box of memory. Any other suggestions? Thanks for
the help.

That is not "directly" bootable. It is a VirtualBox appliance, it is

Then you will get a new Virtual Machine, when you initialyzed, it will
boot Linux
On the Desktop there are some Icons that will boot FreeDOS preconfigured.
I hope this help, feel free to ask again if needed.

I have loaded the FreeDOS onto my Hard drive with Linux(Unbuntu) but
have not been able to boot directly to FreeDOS. The Boot Loader is
GRUB.I have placed the FREE DOS info on aselection for GRUB. But
still does not work. I am looking for someone whom may know the GRUB
commands for loading FREEDOS. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I have been using FreeDOS on a Linux VM for a few years now and I made a
special image to make it public:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/33399957/FreeDOS/Ubuntu140432-DosemuLimpo-1.ova
* VirtualBox Appliance, just: Files > Inport appliance... and you have a
full VM
* Based on Ubuntu LTS with LXDE, as light as possible to remain usefull
* Fast access to host files using VirtualBox share
* Dosemu and FreeDOS fully preconfigured, can run graphic programs
* Network fully functional, can talk to any device on your network
* 3 FreeDOS instance can access the network and talk to each other too
* There are a few Dosemu patches applied for graphics and keyboard
Some of it (most) is in portuguese. If there is some interest I can make
an international version or some needed resource
