It's possible windows 95/98 won't run on freedos due to some
undocumented dos call. I recall there was some problems with both amd
processors, and with another dos, although I don't recall if it was
drdos or the opendos equivalent, where windows wouldn't run, but you
would get a message
You can't start Windows 9x directly from FreeDOS because Windows requires
the MS-DOS that it comes with.
What you can do instead is start GRUB4DOS from FreeDOS (directly from
FDCONFIG.SYS in place of a shell, without loading any drivers at all) and

Hi,
/E specifies how many bytes of memory to reserve for the initial
