Hi Jim, your suggestion helped: The boot screen (when booting FreeDos in VirtualBox) normally disappears so quickly, that it actually doesn't show up (visibly) unless you press F12 while launching the VM.
This made me realize that I actually need to find a solution to (force to) drop any mounted floppy image before the VM is booted, to prevent that the floppy's boot sector is executed. That's what I actually need.
