It seems that it is looking for the (non-existent) HD. See e.g.
https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/mailman/freedos-kernel/thread/4E518B13.4060404%40jpberlin.de/
and particularly this bit: "You can hook int 13 function 8 (get drive
parameters) and make sure that for dl = 80 or higher, it always
returns carry set and dl = 0 to pretend having no harddisks."

(Not sure that solves your problem but it seems like a step forward.)
