Yep. Another way would have been to copy the bootsector as explained in
the 'QuickStart' file, to a file called 'boot.blk'.

EMM386.exe and DOSEMU are basically mutually exclusive, just like QEMM and
EMM386 are. EMM386 switches the processor from real to V86 mode. Under
DOSEMU it is already in V86 mode and EMM386 wants to do way too much.
You just do the following:
specify
$_ems = (10024) # in Kbyte
or whatever value you like in /etc/dosemu.conf and use
device=ems.sys
(or devicehigh if you like with DOS=HIGH,UMB).
in config.sys using the ems.sys that comes with DOSEMU.
