The image is a 500M image created using qemu-img (not using qcow).
FreeDOS was installed using the base CD image which you can get from
here: 
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.0/fdbasecd.iso

After booting FreeDOS, there are a number of boot options with
different memory extenders, after selecting any option the system
freezes and I get [Stopped] in thr QEMU title bar.
I reverted the patch against kvm-70-rc1 and I no longer encountered
the problem, however I am getting conflicts if I try to revert the
patch on the latest git tree.
