The FreeDOS may not be compatible enough in your case. Try booting the PC-DOS 7
instead. And don�t forget to edit the config.sys and autoexec.bat files on the
*boot* filesystem.
There should be a script somewhere in dosemu that will assist you in creating a
bootable image (forgot its name, sorry).
Or, alternatively, if you got a relatively recent dosemu, you can boot straight
from a directory (without an image). Just place the appropriate link into
/var/lib/dosemu.
