I suspect you have GRUB 1.99. At least, that is what shipped with Fedora
(1.99~beta4.)
It isn't that hard to support booting DOS. I think what GRUB calls "FreeDOS
support" is recognizing that the DOS partition is, in fact, running FreeDOS
and then labeling it as such, instead of something like "MS-DOS" or just
generic "DOS". And that is still very cool to see from a popular multiboot
loader like GNU GRUB.
