Gordon, use Bochs to do this. first, bximage.exe can create 8MB harddisk. next, use ODIN bootdisk and bootup Bochs. now use Fdisk on the 8MB image, then format C:, then Sys C:
finally, you'll have a bootable 8MB imagefile. rest of the method seems to be OK, also ELTORITO.SYS seems OK.
label dos kernel memdisk append initrd=8MB.gz harddisk
I'll see if I can create an example for you and upload it.
note that when this boots OK, your physical harddisk suddenly will be D: because you use harddisk emulation.
I succeeded in floppy emulation with a 5MB imagefile.
don't use the freedos cdrom, as I've not tested it against any harddisk smaller than 16MB.
don't know it's behaviour then (limitation of the WHICHFAT program in combination with the FreeDOS kernel)
